Maintaining the toner cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in
mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
Expected cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print
jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the
print density and area coverage of the pages you print on, and the
number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing
interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you
may need to change the cartridge more often.
Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs.
• The toner related message telling that the toner is low.
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish 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 cover.
2 Pull the corresponding toner cartridge out.
3 Holding the toner cartridge, thoroughly roll it 5 or 6 times to
distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
4 Grasp the toner cartridge and align it with the corresponding slot
inside the machine. Insert it back into its slot until it clicks into place.
5 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
Tip
If toner gets on your clothing, wash clothing in cold water.
Hot water sets toner into fabric.
