Replacing the Toner Cartridges
A message appears on the control panel when the amount of remaining toner is low or the toner runs out. In this case, replace the toner cartridge while following the message.
If printing pauses due to the toner running out, printing resumes after the toner cartridge is replaced.
As long as black toner is remaining, you can print in black and white even if cyan, magenta, or yellow toner runs out. However, the print quality will deteriorate.
* When you are printing in black and white, do not replace the color toner cartridge that has run out until you finish printing.
