Redistributing toner

When toner is low, faded or light areas
appear on the printed page. You might
be able to temporarily improve print
quality by redistributing the toner, which
means that you might be able to finish
the current print job before replacing the
toner cartridge.

Note

You will feel some resistance when you
open the toner door. Opening the toner
door conveniently lifts the toner cartridge
for removal.

1

Open the toner door, and remove the
toner cartridge from the printer.

CAUTION

To prevent damage, do not expose the
toner cartridge to light. Cover it with a
sheet of paper.

2

To redistribute the toner, gently
shake the toner cartridge from side
to side.

CAUTION

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

3

Reinsert the toner cartridge into the
printer, and close the toner door.

If the print is still light, install a new toner
cartridge. See
