Correcting Poor Print Quality

1

Open the top cover by grasping it at both sides and lifting it up.

2

Grasp the cartridge by the grip, lift it slightly upwards, then pull the cartridge out and
remove it from the printer.

3

Rock the cartridge gently to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.  Repeat
this 5 or 6 times.

4

Replace the toner cartridge and fully close the top cover.

• Be sure the cartridge is properly inserted into the printer.  The top cover will

not close properly if the cartridge is not properly installed in the printer.

• If the top cover does not shut properly, do not force it.  Open the top cover

again, remove the toner cartridge, and reinsert the toner cartridge.  Ensure
the toner cartridge is positioned correctly before you close the top cover.

5

Start a print job and check the printed text.

If this procedure did not correct this problem, replace the toner cartridge (see
page 118).
