Installing the Toner Cartridge

Grasp the front cover and pull it toward you to open.

Note:

Because the printer is very light, it may be moved when you

use it; for example, when opening/closing the tray or installing/

removing the toner cartridge. Be careful not to move the printer.

Remove the toner cartridge from its bag and remove the
paper protecting the cartridge by pulling the packing tape.
