Installing the Print Cartridge

1 Pull the cover open.

2 Remove the print cartridge from its

bag and remove the paper covering from the print cartridge completely.

3 Gently shake the cartridge from side to

side to distribute the toner evenly.

Note: 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 fabric.

Warning! To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper if it will be left exposed for more than a few minutes.
