REPLACING CONSUMABLE ITEMS
TONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
The toner used in this machine 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, 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.
1.Gently raise the scanner.
2.Press the cover release (a) and open the MFP’s top cover (b) fully.
CAUTION!
To avoid toner wastage and possible toner sensor errors, do not 
change the toner cartridge(s) until “TONER EMPTY” is displayed.
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.
WARNING!
If the MFP has been powered on, the fuser may be hot. This area is 
clearly labelled. Do not touch.
