Replacing the toner cartridge
  CAUTION: Before performing any of the procedures listed below, read and follow 
the safety instructions.
To order replacement toner cartridges, contact Dell online or by phone (see “Order toner 
cartridges” on page 2).
In addition to the toner level indicator that is displayed each time you send a job to print, 
an 88 Toner Low message appears on the operator panel to alert you it’s time to order a 
new toner cartridge.
To use the remaining toner, remove the toner cartridge, shake it gently back and forth, and 
reinsert it. When the print fades or no longer prints satisfactorily, replace the toner 
cartridge.
 NOTE: Dell does not recommend that you use toner cartridges from a third-party refiller. Print 
quality and printer reliability cannot be guaranteed if you do. For best results, use Dell supplies.
Removing the used toner cartridge
 NOTE: Remove any print jobs from the output bin before opening the upper front door.
Before performing any of the procedures listed in this section, read and follow the safety
