Thoroughly shake the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner 
evenly inside the cartridge. 
4
Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the 
cartridge into the opening in the printer. 
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves 
within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position 
until it locks into place completely.
5
Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
Caution
• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fuser area may be
hot.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of 
paper, if necessary. 
• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching 
this area.
Caution
• 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.
Note
• At this stage, if you need to replace the toner cartridge, see
page 8.4.

Note
• Estimated cartridge life means the expected or estimated toner
cartridge life, which indicates the average capacity of print-
outs and is designed pursuant to ISO/IEC 19752. (See 
Specification on page 11.1.) The number of pages may be 
affected by operating environment, printing interval, media 
type, and media size. Some amount of toner may remain in the 
cartridge even when the error LED blinks red, and the printer 
stops printing.
Caution
• Do not use sharp objects, such as a knife or scissors, to open
the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of 
the cartridge.
