3
Remove the new toner cartridge from its protective bag.
IMPORTANT
•
Before you install the cartridge, ensure it has adjusted to room temperature
especially if the toner cartridge has been moved from a cold to a warm location. If a
cold cartridge is installed in the printer, condensation may form inside the cartridge
and cause a reduction in print quality.
•
Before you install the cartridge, check the expiration date printed on the box. Old
toner cartridges can cause poor print quality. Always use a cartridge before its
expiration date.
•
Save the protective bag. You may need it later if you have to remove the toner
cartridge from the printer.
4
Hold the cartridge, then gently rock it from side to side five or
six times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
Rock the toner cartridge gently, taking care not to spill the toner.
IMPORTANT
If the toner is not evenly distributed inside the cartridge, it can cause streaking or
fading on the printed page.
