Redistributing toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:

If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.

  1. Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out.

  2. Thoroughly roll the cartridge five or six times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

    [Note]

    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.

    [Caution]

    Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

  3. Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into the opening in the machine.

  4. Close the front cover. Ensure that the cover is securely closed.
