Replacing a Toner Cartridge
When a toner cartridge is empty, a message appears on the LCD screen indicating 
which toner cartridge needs to be replaced. If you are going to print a large document 
or make a large number of copies and one of the toner cartridges is low, you can 
change that cartridge so you won’t run out of toner in the middle of the job. See:
