The machine uses four colors and has a different toner cartridge for each one: yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K).

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

  • The computer’s Samsung Printing Status program window appears on the computer telling you which color cartridge is empty on toner (see Using Samsung Printer Status).

Check the type of the toner cartridge for your machine (see Available consumables).

[Note]
  • Shake the toner cartridge thoroughly, it will increase the initial print quality.

  • Illustrations on this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending on its options or models. Check your machine type (see Front view).

[Caution]
  • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.

  • Do not touch the green area of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

  • Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge.

  • 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.
