Important
• Make sure that the power is on when replacing the print cartridges.
• When placing a used toner cartridge on the floor or on a table, place a few sheets of paper under the
cartridge to catch any toner that may spill.
• Do not reuse old print cartridges once you remove them from the printer. Doing so can impair print
quality.
