Redistributing toner
When a toner is low, faded or light areas may appear. It is possible that
colored images may be printed with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of
toner colors when one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. You
can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner.
• The toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on
the display.
• The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you
which color cartridge is low on toner.
1. Using the handle, completely open the front cover.
2. Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the
cartridge from the machine.
3. Holding both handles on the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from side
to side to evenly distribute the toner.
• Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum or the front of the
toner cartridge, with your hands or any other material. Use the
handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching this area.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the paper transfer belt.
• If you leave the front cover open for more than a few minutes, the
OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will cause damage to the
OPC drum. Close the front cover should the installation need to
be halted for any reason.
When you open the front cover, be careful not to touch the
underneath of the control panel (the lower part of the fuser unit). The
temperature of the fuser unit might be high and could damage your
skin.
When you open the front cover and work inside the machine, it is
highly recommend that you remove the paper transfer belt first.
Because the work you do could contaminate the paper transfer belt.
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry
cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into
fabric.
