Redistributing Toner
When the toner is running low and the message <TONER LOW/PREPARE NEW TONER> appears on the display, redistribute toner in the toner cartridge. We recommend that you prepare a new toner cartridge for future replacement with ease.
Note:
- When <KEEP PRINTING> is set, the printed documents may be light or blurred because of lack of toner. The data is erased when the documents are printed out, so you cannot print the same documents again.
1. If you are using the multi-purpose tray, fold multi-purpose tray extension, push back the auxiliary tray into place, and then close the multi-purpose tray.
