Replace print cartridges 
How do I?  Steps to perform   
Replace the print cartridge 
1  Open the print-cartridge door, and remove the old print 
cartridge.  
 
NOTE: See the recycling information inside the print-
cartridge box. To prevent damage to the print cartridge, 
minimize its exposure to direct light by covering it with a 
sheet of paper. 
2  Remove the new print cartridge from the packaging. 
Pull the tab until all the tape is removed from the 
cartridge. Put the tab in the print-cartridge box to 
return for recycling. 
 
  3  Gently rock the toner cartridge from front to back to 
distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. 
 
  4  Insert the print cartridge in the device and close the 
print-cartridge door.
