7.3 Replacing the EP-S Cartridge

When the ‘‘16 TONER LOW’’ message is displayed, it means that the printer

is either running out of toner or the toner is not being distributed evenly.

Before replacing the EP-S cartridge, make sure that the toner is really

depleted. Rock the cartridge back and forth gently to redistribute any

remaining toner as shown in Figure 7–1.

Reinstall the cartridge and try printing. If the toner low message does not

appear or printing is acceptable, the cartridge will last for a while longer.

If the toner low message remains on and the print quality is not acceptable,

you need to replace the EP-S cartridge.
Replacing the EP-S cartridge requires the following:
• Cleaning the fixing roller
• Replacing the fixing roller cleaner
• Cleaning the transfer corona wires and discharging pins
You should perform all of these procedures each time you replace the EP-S

cartridge to ensure optimum print performance.
