Redistributing Toner
When the print cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs.
• Toner is Low. Order new one appears on the display.
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. Release both latches on the side of the front door and open
the door.
2. Pull the print cartridge out.
3. Slowly shake the cartridge five or six times to distribute the
toner evenly inside the cartridge.
Note: 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.
CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the print cartridge. Use the handle on the
cartridge to avoid touching this area.
4. Hold the print cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into the opening in the
machine.
5. 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.
