Redistributing toner
When small amount of toner is left in the cartridge, the toner
LED(
) blinks slowly
.
It may cause faded or light areas on a paper. You
can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner.
For detailed information about error message, see page 9.7.
Note
In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even
after you have redistributed the toner.
1
Press the top cover lever, completely open the top cover.
2
Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the
cartridge from the machine.
3
Holding side edges of the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from
side to side to redistribute the toner.
Caution
• Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum or the front of
the toner cartridge, with your hands or any other material.
Use the handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching
this area.
• If you leave the top cover open for more than a few minutes,
the OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will cause
damage to the OPC drum. Close the top cover should the
installation need to be halted for any reason.
Note
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry
cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into
fabric.
