Replacing the toner cartridge

management system. It indicates when your toner
cartridge is nearing the end of its lifespan. The following
messages will appear on your machine:
•

: the
toner cartridge has reached the critical level (less than
10 % remaining in the toner cartridge);
•
THE TONER CARTRIDGE IS EMPTY - REPLACE IT
:
the toner cartridge is empty.
You can replace the toner cartridge between the time it
has reached critical threshold and when it is empty.
To replace the toner cartridge:
1
Stand opposite the machine.
Note
Always use the smart card provided when
replacing the toner cartridge. The smart
card contains the information required to re-
set the toner level. If you replace the toner
cartridge without using the smart card provi-
ded, the consumable management system
may indicate an error.
