Learn how to remove and replace the toner cartridges.

Introduction

Note:

Some figures might show a printer that looks different than the one being serviced. However, the procedures are correct for this printer (M433, M436, M437, M438, M439, M440, M442, M443, M42523, M42525,M42623, M42625). Always thoroughly read the instructions that accompany each figure.

A toner cartridge has almost reached its estimated cartridge life:

  • The status LED and the toner-related message on the display indicate when the toner cartridge should be replaced.

  • The computer Printing Status Program window appears on the computer screen indicating a toner empty condition.

CAUTION:

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.

Note:

Shake the toner cartridge thoroughly, it will increase the initial print quality.

Illustrations in this procedure might differ from your machine depending on its options or models.
