TONER CARTRIDGE

4.9 TONER CARTRIDGE
Make sure you only use toner cartridges approved by the manufacturer. Machine
operation is not guaranteed if you use toner cartridges not approved by the
manufacturer.

4.9.1 TONER CARTRIDGE PRECAUTIONS

Do no expose the toner cartridge to direct light for more than a few minutes.
You can temporarily improve the print quality by redistributing the toner if the
printed image is light due to low toner supply. In this condition, shake the toner
cartridge side-to-side 5-6 times. However, you should replace the toner cartridge to
ensure high quality printouts.

4.9.2 REDISTRIBUTING TONER

White streaks or light printouts show when the toner cartridge is near the end of its
life. At this time the LCD displays shows the 'Toner Low' message. To temporarily
solve this problem, you can redistribute the remaining toner in the cartridge.
