Redistributing the Toner
When toner is low, faded or light areas might appear on a printed
page. You might be able to temporarily improve print quality by
redistributing the toner. The following procedure might allow you to
finish the current print job before replacing the print cartridge.
1 Open the top cover.
2 Remove the print cartridge from the
printer.
WARNING!
Avoid reaching too far into the printer.
The adjacent fusing area might be hot!
Caution
To prevent damage to the print
cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
3 Rotate the print cartridge and gently
shake it from side to side to
redistribute the toner.
Note
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off
with a dry cloth and wash clothing in
cold water. (Hot water sets toner into
fabric.)
4 Reinsert the print cartridge into the
printer and close the top cover.
If the print remains light, install a new
print cartridge. (Follow the instructions
provided with the new print cartridge.)
