Redistributing the Toner When toner is low, faded or light areas might appear on a printed page. You might be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedure might allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the print cartridge. 1 Open the top cover. 2 Remove the print cartridge from the printer. WARNING! Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The adjacent fusing area might be hot! Caution To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. 3 Rotate the print cartridge and gently shake it from side to side to redistribute the toner. Note If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. (Hot water sets toner into fabric.) 4 Reinsert the print cartridge into the printer and close the top cover. If the print remains light, install a new print cartridge. (Follow the instructions provided with the new print cartridge.) ENWW Chapter 3: Printer Maintenance 71

WARNING!
Avoid reaching too far into the printer.
The adjacent fusing area might be hot!
