Step 4. Remove Tape

and rear covers of the printer.

Step 5. Install Toner Cartridge
1. Press down on the release button at the
top of the printer to open the front cover.
2. Remove the two orange plastic spacers
inserted in the printer by pulling them out
of the printer as shown.
Note: The toner cartridge contains a microfine plastic powder that is fused to the paper during the
printing process. If toner spills onto your skin or clothing during installation, wipe off with a dry cloth and
rinse with cold water. Hot water can fuse the toner and cause staining.

3. Unwrap the toner cartridge and remove
the protective sheet of paper from under
the front flap of the cartridge. Shake the
cartridge from side to side several times
as shown to distribute the toner.
4. Place the toner cartridge on a flat surface
and hold the cartridge securely with one
hand. Grasp and pull the sealing tape
straight out from the side of the cartridge,
as shown. Pulling the tape out at an angle
may cause it to break.
Do not shake the cartridge or subject it
to shocks once the tape is removed, as
this may result in toner leakage.
5. Position the toner cartridge as shown.
Match up the tabs on the left and right of
the cartridge with the channels within the
printer. Gently slide the cartridge into the
printer as far as it will go.
