When to replace the toner

If any of the toner cartridge indicators on the initial screen appear to show it is empty, replace the indicated toner cartridge.

Replace the toner cartridge if the following message appears on the display:

"imageAdd Toner: (color)"

Illustration of message

  • A combination of one to four colors, yellow, magenta, cyan, black, appears in "(color)".

  • If cyan, magenta, or yellow toner runs out, you can print in black and white using black toner. Change the color mode setting to Black and White using the printer driver.

  • If black toner runs out, you cannot print in black and white or color until the black toner cartridge is replaced.

  1. Open the top cover by grasping the left and right side handles.

    • Do not shake the removed toner. Any remaining toner may leak.

    • Pull the toner out slowly and carefully to prevent leakage.

    • Place the old toner on paper or some other material to avoid dirtying your workspace.

  3. Take the new toner out of the box.

  4. Shake the toner up and down seven or eight times.

    Do not repeatedly install and remove toner. Doing so results in toner leak.
