To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following 

guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until 

ready for use.

• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty 

toner cartridge.

• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your 

machine.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it 

to light for more than a few minutes.

To save toner, press Menu until Toner Save appears and then 

press OK when On appears. Using this feature extends the life 

of the toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it 

also reduces print quality. 

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner 

that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% 

coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 

pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine 

lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be 

different depending on the print density of the page you print. 

If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the toner 

cartridge more often.

: The 1,000 pages and 3,000 pages toner cartridge have 

different shapes.

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs. 
• The warning message, Toner Low displays on the control 

panel.

• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer 

telling you that the toner cartridge is low on toner.

• The Status LED blinks red. 

If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by 

redistributing the remaining toner in the toner cartridge. In 

some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even 

after you have redistributed the toner.

Open the front cover.

Pull the toner cartridge out.

Thoroughly roll the toner cartridge 5 or 6 times to 

distribute the toner evenly inside the toner cartridge.

: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry 

cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into 

fabric.

: Do not touch the green underside of the toner 

cartridge. Use the handle on the toner cartridge to avoid 

touching this area. 

Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert 

the toner cartridge into the opening in the machine.

Tabs on the sides of the toner cartridge and corresponding 

grooves within the machine will guide the toner cartridge 

into the correct position until it locks into place completely.

Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely 

closed.
