Replacing the toner cartridge
When 88 Cartridge is low appears, or when you experience faded print, remove the toner cartridge. Firmly
shake it side-to-side and front-to-back several times to redistribute the toner, and then reinsert it and continue printing.
When shaking the cartridge no longer improves the print quality, replace the toner cartridge.

To replace the toner cartridge:
1Open the front door by pressing the button on the left side of the printer and lowering the door.

5Install the new toner cartridge by aligning the rollers on the toner cartridge with the arrows on the tracks of the
photoconductor kit. Push the toner cartridge in as far as it will go. The cartridge clicks into place when correctly
installed.
6Close the front door.
Replacing the photoconductor kit
The printer automatically notifies you before the photoconductor kit reaches a page maximum by showing 84 PC
Kit life warning or 84 Replace PC Kit on the display. You can also see the status of the photoconductor
kit by printing a menu settings page.
When 84 PC Kit life warning or 84 Replace PC Kit first appears, you should immediately order a new
photoconductor kit. While the printer may continue to function properly after the photoconductor kit has reached its
official end-of-life, print quality significantly decreases.
Note: The photoconductor kit is one item only.
