3Gently roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner.
Thoroughly rolling the cartridge will assure maximum 
copies per cartridge.
Note: 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.
Cautions:
• To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for 
more than few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if left 
exposed for more than a few minutes.
• Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the 
handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
4Locate the cartridge slots inside the printer, one on each 
side.
