Always check the message on the display to solve the problem. The instruction in the Troubleshooting section will guide you to operate the printer properly. See "Understanding display messages" on page 70 for more information. ACKNOWLEDGING THE STATUS OF THE TONER CARTRIDGE The status of toner cartridges is indicated by the Status ( ) LED and the LCD display. If the toner cartridge is low or needs to be replaced, the Status ( ) LED turns red and the display shows the message. However the arrow mark shows which color toner is of concern or needs replacement with a new cartridge. Example: The above example shows the black cartridges status indicated by arrows. Check the message to find out what the problem is and how to solve it. See "Understanding display messages" on page 70 for more information on error messages. 14 | Introduction
