When the toner is running low, the LCD displays [REPLACE CARTRIDGE]. |
If white streaks or light bands are displayed on copies, or [REPLACE CARTRIDGE] appears on the LCD, the toner in the cartridge is running low.

Remove the cartridge from the machine. Rock the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly. Re-install the cartridge in the machine. Then, make a few test copies or printouts.
If the copies appear normal, then you can use the cartridge, however, a new one will be needed soon.
If white streaks or light bands are still present, replace the cartridge with a new one.
