Meaning Suggested solutions
• You can choose Stop or Continue as shown on the control panel. If you
select Stop, the printer stops printing and you cannot print any more
without changing the cartridge. If you select Continue, the printer
keeps printing but the printing quality cannot be guaranteed.
• Replace the toner cartridge for the best print quality when this message
appears. Using a cartridge beyond this stage can result in printing
quality issues (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 56).
Samsung does not recommend using non-genuine Samsung
toner cartridge such as refilled or remanufactured. Samsung
cannot guarantee non-genuine Samsung toner cartridge's
quality. Service or repair required as a result of using non-
genuine Samsung toner cartridges will not be covered under the
machine warranty.
• If the machine stops printing, replace the toner cartridge (See
"Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 56).
Prepare a new cartridge for a replacement. You may temporarily increase
the printing quality by redistributing the toner (see "Redistributing toner"
on page 54).
