3.12.2 Resetting the Toner Counter
The toner containers must be replaced when the printer displays the Low toner or
Replace toner message which will be given depending on the color of toner. The Low
toner message will be shown as a pre-warning that the toner is running out and the printer
will soon stop, at that time showing Replace toner. If you replace the toner container
before Replace toner is displayed, you must manually reset the toner counter as
explained below.
Note that if you reset the toner counter before the toner container is replaced, the subsequent
toner warnings will not be indicated correctly.
