## Replacing the toner cartridge

When the toner cartridge reaches its estimated cartridge life,

- The Printer Status or the Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling you the toner cartridge needs to be replaced.

- The machine stops printing.

At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. Check the model number for the toner cartridge used in your machine. (See Available supplies.)

1. Open the top cover.

2. Pull the toner cartridge out.

3. Take a new toner cartridge out of its package.

4. Remove the cap protecting the toner cartridge.

5. Slowly shake the cartridge side to side five or six times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. It will assure maximum copies per cartridge.

   If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

   Do not touch the drum located in the toner cartridge or imaging unit. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

6. Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into the opening in the machine.

   Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.

7. Close the top cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
