Installing Consumables
You must install the toner cartridge, load and install a paper cassette,
connect the power cord, and print the start-up page before you can
install any options.
Installing the Toner Cartridge
Characters and images are created in your laser printer through a
process that applies toner (made of carbon particles) to the page in
the printer’s fusing unit. When an image is formed, heat and pressure
from the printer are applied to transfer the image to the page. The
toner cartridge contains the toner and the photosensitive drum
needed to operate the laser printer. You may purchase additional
toner cartridges from your QMS vendor.
» Note: The toner cartridge is sensitive to bright light. Do not remove
the cartridge from its protective bag until you are ready to install it.
Keep the toner cartridge away from your computer. The magnets in
the cartridge can damage data, particularly on your floppy disks.
1 Lift the toner cartridge out of its shipping carton, open the
aluminum protective bag, and remove the cartridge.
