Replacing the Toner Cartridge
This section describes how to replace or handle the toner cartridge and
precautions on storing it.
When a Message Appears
Toner cartridges are consumable products. When the toner cartridge is nearing the
end of its life, a message will appear in the Printer Status Window. Follow the
directions in the message.
IMPORTANT
If the printing appears faint or inconsistent even when a message does not appear, this
may be due to the toner cartridge reaching the end of its life. Do not continue to use the
toner cartridge, and replace it with a new one when there is deterioration in print quality.
When you are replacing the toner cartridge, be sure to use a toner cartridge designed for
this printer.
