24. Prepare the toner cartridge for installation.
• Shake the cartridge several times and make sure that the toner is moving
inside.
• Push the cartridge cap [A]. At the same time, tap the bottom of the toner
cartridge 4 or 5 times.
• Hold the cartridge horizontally and shake it quickly from side to side 4 or 5
times.
• Hold the joint [B] of the toner cartridge with two fingers, and turn the joint. If
the joint does not turn, do the procedure again.
Important!
• Tell the customer how to prepare a toner cartridge for installation.
• If toner is not loosened before the toner cartridge is installed, the customer may
hear a rattling noise. The agitators inside the toner cartridge will disengage if
compacted toner does not let them turn easily. This is the source of the rattling
noise.
• To prevent this problem, instruct the customer to store extra toner cartridges
horizontally on a flat surface. A toner cartridge should never be put on its end or
stored vertically.
