Cartridge indicator on the operation panel will light and you
will see this message:

You may be able to extend the service life of the toner cartridge by
removing it and rotating it 5 or 6 times to re-distribute the toner inside
the cartridge. After you re-set the cartridge in the fax unit, if the mes-
sages goes off, you can continue printing but make sure you have a new
cartridge on hand to replace the old one when it finally runs out of toner.
If the message does not go off, then you will have to follow the proce-
dure below to replace the old cartridge.
Follow this procedure to replace the toner cartridge.
