Replacing the Cartridge

This section describes how to remove the used cartridge and replace it with a new
one. Before replacing the cartridge, be sure to read the section "When to Replace
the Cartridge," on p. 8-4.

NOTE

When handling the cartridge, take care not to allow the toner on the jammed paper to
come into contact with your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them
immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner, and make it
impossible to remove the toner stains.

1

Open the front cover.

2

Remove the cartridge from the machine.
