Do not open the small cover by force, as doing so may damage the machine.

Hold the new toner cartridge horizontally, and gently tilt it from side to side about 10 times.
Shaking the toner cartridge evens out the toner inside.

7
Install the new toner cartridge.
Before installing the toner cartridge, confirm that the color of the toner cartridge and the color indicated on the small cover are the same.
8
Close the small cover.
The small cover cannot be closed unless the toner cartridge has been pushed in as far as it will go. Do not try to force the cover closed, as doing so may cause it to break.
9
Close the toner replacement cover.
You can set the machine to display a message indicating that the remaining toner is low.
If printing was interrupted because toner ran out, it will automatically resume when you replace the toner cartridge.
Even if cyan, magenta, or yellow toner runs out, you can continue to print in black-and-white as long as black toner remains, but the printing quality will drop. If you want to continue printing in black-and-white, do not replace the toner cartridge until printing is complete.
If the color and density of printing differ after replacing the toner cartridge, perform adjustment.
