TONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
The toner used in this printer is a very fine dry powder. It is 
contained in four cartridges: one each for cyan, magenta, yellow 
and black.
Have a sheet of paper handy so that you have somewhere to 
place the used cartridge while you install the new one.
Dispose of the old cartridge responsibly by placing it inside the 
pack that the new one came in. Follow any regulations, 
recommendations, etc., which may be in force concerning waste 
recycling.
If you do spill any toner powder, lightly brush it off. If this is not 
enough, use a cool, damp cloth to remove any residue. Do not 
use hot water, and never use solvents of any kind. They will make 
stains permanent.
Before changing the toner cartridge, switch off the printer and 
allow the fuser to cool for about 10 minutes before opening the 
cover.
CAUTION!
To avoid toner wastage and possible toner sensor 
errors, do not change the- toner cartridge(s) until 
“TONER EMPTY” is displayed through the Status 
Monitor.
WARNING!
If you inhale any toner or get it in your eyes, drink a 
little water or bathe your eyes liberally in cold water. 
Seek medical attention immediately.

3.Carry out one of the following:

supplied with your printer (release lever has 3 
positions), pull the coloured toner release lever on 
the cartridge to be replaced towards the front of the 
printer, in the direction of the arrow, but stop at the 
central (upright) position (1).
(b) If you are replacing any other toner cartridge (lever 
has 2 positions), pull the coloured toner release 
lever (1) on the cartridge to be replaced fully

5.Put the cartridge down gently onto a piece of paper to 
prevent toner from marking your furniture.
6.Remove the new cartridge from its box but leave its 
wrapping material in place for the moment.
7.Gently shake the new cartridge from end to end several 
times to loosen and distribute the toner evenly inside the 
cartridge.
CAUTION!
The green image drum surface is very delicate and 
light sensitive. Do not touch it and do not expose it to 
normal room light for more than 5 minutes. If the 
drum unit needs to be out of the printer for longer 
than this, please wrap the cartridge inside a black 
plastic bag to keep it away from light. Never expose 
the drum to direct sunlight or very bright room 
lighting.
