Procedure for Replacing the Toner Cartridge

Do not touch the electrical contacts on the end of the toner cartridge.
When replacing multiple toner cartridges at the same time, replace them in the order black, yellow, magenta, cyan.
1
Press .
This operation is not necessary when black toner or all the toners have run out.
2
Open the front cover of the main unit.
3
Pull out the toner cartridge.
Make sure to avoid applying shocks to the toner cartridge by hitting it against something, etc. Doing so may cause the toner to leak.
4
Remove the new toner cartridge from its box.
5
With the white part of the new toner cartridge facing up, shake the toner cartridge up and down approximately 10 times.
Shaking the toner cartridge evens out the toner inside.
Do not have the white part of the toner cartridge face down. Doing so may prevent the toner from being supplied properly.
6
Install the new toner cartridge.
Holding the toner cartridge with the flat surface of its tip facing down, slide the cartridge into the main unit as far as it will go.
7
Close the front cover of the main unit.
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 gradation and density of printing differ after replacing the toner cartridge, perform adjustment.
