3.12.2 Resetting the Toner Counter
The toner containers must be replaced when the printer
displays the [Low toner
]
or [
Replace toner
]
message, each of which indicates which color toner is
running low.
The [
Low toner
]
message is an early warning that tells
you toner is running out. If you continue using the printer the
printer will stop printing soon thereafter, and display the
[
Replace toner
] pressure. If you replace the toner
container before the [Replace toner
]
message appears,
you need to manually reset the toner counter as explained
below.
Note that if you reset the toner counter without replacing the
toner container, subsequent toner warning messages will not
appear at the correct times.
