Step 3: Installing the Toner Cartridge

1
Grasp the front cover and pull it toward you to open.
Note: Because the printer is very light, it may be moved when you
use it; for example, when opening/closing the tray or installing/ removing the toner cartridge. Be careful not to move the printer.
2
Remove the toner cartridge from its bag and remove the paper covering the cartridge.
English
3
Gently shake the cartridge from side to side to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
CAUTIONS:
• To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if left exposed for more than a few minutes.
• 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.
