Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
White streaks or light printing occurs.
Prepare new cartridge appears on the display.
The Status LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In
some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
1. Open the front door.
2. Pull the toner cartridge out.
3. Thoroughly roll the cartridge five or six times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
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.
Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching
this area.
4. Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into the opening in the machine.
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the machine will guide the cartridge into the
correct position until it locks into place completely.
