Replacing a toner cartridge
1. Confirm the color of the toner cartridge that needs
to be replaced by checking the LCD panel.
2. Open the front cover.
3. See which color currently appears in the cartridge

automatically and the next cartridge slot appears

the cartridge that you want to replace appears.
Note:
If the knob cannot be turned, check if the switch is up.
Do not turn the knob by force.
