REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE
When the toner cartridge replacement required indicator ( ) lights up, the toner cartridge will need replacement
soon. Obtain a new cartridge. When the toner cartridge replacement required indicator ( ) blinks, the toner
cartridge must be replaced before copying can be resumed.
Replace the toner cartridge by following the procedure below.
1
Gently pull on the top center of the
front cover to open.
2
Pull the toner cartridge out while
pressing the lock release lever.
When pulling out the
toner cartridge, place
your other hand on the
green part of the
cartridge.

Remove the new toner cartridge from
the bag. Grasp the cartridge on both
sides and shake it horizontally four or
five times. After shaking the cartridge,
remove the tape.

guides until it locks in place while
pushing the lock release lever.
If there is any dirt or dust

the cartridge.

indicator ( ) will go out.
When the toner cartridge replacement indicator ( ) lights up, little toner remains and thus copies may be faint.
Note
After removing the toner cartridge, do not
shake it or tap on it. Doing so may cause
toner to leak from the cartridge. Put the old
cartridge immediately in the bag contained
in the box of the new cartridge. Dispose of
the old toner cartridge in accordance with
local regulations.
• Grasp the grip when holding the
cartridge. Do not hold the cartridge by the
shutter.

• Even after a new toner cartridge is
installed, the toner cartridge replacement
required indicator ( ) may still light up,
indicating that copying cannot be resumed
(toner is not fed sufficiently). In this case,
open and close the front cover. The
machine will feed toner again for about
two minutes and then copying can be
resumed.
• Before closing the front cover, make sure
that the toner cartridge is correctly
installed.
• When closing the front cover, gently hold
both ends.
