Replacing the toner cartridge

• Before opening the front cover, close the output support first.

• Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge.

• If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

• Shake the toner cartridge thoroughly, it will increase the initial print quality.

• Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
