Redistributing toner
When toner is low, faded or light areas appear on the printed page. You might be able to
temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner, which means that you might be
able to finish the current print job before replacing the print cartridge.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light. Cover the
print cartridge with a sheet of paper.
1. Open the print cartridge door, and remove the print cartridge from the printer.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, hold the print cartridge at each end.
2. To redistribute the toner, gently rock the print cartridge from front to back.
CAUTION If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothing in cold water.
Hot water sets toner into the fabric.
3. Reinsert the print cartridge into the printer, and close the print cartridge door.
