Redistribute the toner
Before Replacing the Toner Cartridge
When the toner cartridge is nearing the end of its life, perform the following procedure before replacing the toner cartridge. You may be able to print for a while until the toner is used up completely.
1. Holding the opening (A) on the right side, open the top cover.
2. Remove the toner cartridge.
3. Shake the toner cartridge five or six times as shown in the figure to evenly distribute the toner inside the toner cartridge.
4. Install the toner cartridge.
Push the toner cartridge into the printer firmly until it touches the back of the printer while aligning (A) on sides of the toner cartridge with the toner cartridge guides inside the printer.
5. Close the top cover.
If you cannot close the top cover:
Make sure that the toner cartridge is installed in the printer properly. Do not try to forcefully close the top cover, as this may damage the printer.
Note:
If white streaks (lines), unevenness, or faded print appears on printout results even after performing the above procedure, replace the toner cartridge with a new one.
