TONER CARTRIDGE

Overview

You should keep one set of replacement toner cartridges on hand so that you can replace a toner cartridge immediately when toner runs out.

Replacement message

When toner is running low, the message "Change the toner supply" appears. When this message appears in the upper section of the screen, replace the toner cartridge for the indicated color. (Example: In copy mode)

If you continue to use the machine without replacing the cartridge, the following message will appear when the toner runs out.

Colors that are running low or have run out of toner are indicated in ().
  • Y: Yellow toner
  • M: Magenta toner
  • C: Cyan toner
  • Bk: Black toner
  • If any one of the toner colors runs out (including black toner), color printing will no longer be possible. However, if the Y, M, or C toners run out but a quantity of Bk toner still remains, printing is performed in black and white.
  • Depending on your conditions of use, the color may become light or the image blurred.
  • Be sure to install four toner cartridges (Y/M/C/Bk).
  • Keep used toner cartridges in a plastic bag (do not discard them). Your service technician will collect used toner cartridges.
  • When the Home Screen or the initial copy mode screen is displayed, holding down the [Home Screen] button allows you to view the approximate amount of toner remaining (indicated in %). Before the percentage falls to "0%", obtain a toner cartridge for replacement purposes.
  • When toner runs out while the home screen is displayed, the message [Toner Empty] appears in the upper right corner of the screen.
  • Do not throw a toner cartridge into a fire. Toner may splatter and cause burns.
  • Store toner cartridges out of reach of small children.
  • If a toner cartridge is stored on end, the toner may harden and become unusable. Always store toner cartridges on their side.
  • If a toner cartridge other than a SHARP-recommended toner cartridge is used, the machine may not attain full quality and performance and there is a risk of damage to the machine. Be sure to use a SHARP-recommended toner cartridge.
