4. Press the Online/Offline button to put the printer back online.
The printer produces a test configuration page and then a
cleaning sheet.
5. Check the diagonal bar on the cleaning sheet. It should be solid
black. If it is not, toner may be low or may need to be
redistributed by gently rocking the toner cartridge from side
to side (fig. 6.4).
The cleaning sheet procedure is now complete.
Breaking in a New EP-L Cartridge
A new EP-L cartridge may need some breaking in. If you have
recently installed a new EP-L cartridge and your printed pages have
faded areas, remove the cartridge and rotate it several times to
loosen toner that may have settled. Then replace it and try printing
again.
The output from a new cartridge is fine for plain text. However, if
you are printing graphics or documents requiring the maximum
toner density (for example, near camera-ready copy), use a
cartridge that has been broken in by at least 50 copies.
If you print graphics or prepare near camera-ready art with your
printer, consider buying extra EP-L cartridges. With extra
cartridges on hand, you may break in a new one when you have a
large print job not requiring maximum blackness. If your toner is
low but still usable, store it, as level as possible, in the box. Be sure
to follow the directions that come with each EP-L cartridge
regarding storage conditions.
You now have a broken in EP-L cartridge ready to use. Unless
stored more than a few weeks, the cartridge can be quickly rotated
