Replacing Your Xerox Toner Cartridges: A Primer
Changing the toner cartridge in your Xerox Phaser is a very simple process for experienced users, but many office employees probably aren’t up to date on the latest user manual for the printer. Fortunately changing the Xerox toner cartridges in your printer is easier than you might think, it is just a matter of following a few easy steps and you are done. The hardest part is avoiding spilling the toner all over your new suit!
The first step to replacing the Xerox toner cartridges is figuring out which cartridge is empty. The message window on the front of the printer should indicate which of the four toner cartridges needs a refill: cyan, magenta, yellow or black. Once you know which cartridge it is that needs to be replaced you need to set the printer to rotate the toner carousel so you can get at it.
This is accomplished by pressing the “Menu Select” button until “Printable Pages Menu” or “Proof/Print Menu” is displayed. Flip through the options until you see “Quality Menu”, then hit the menu select button again until “Toner Removal” shows up. Press the down key until you see “Black” in the message window, then use the right arrow key to select the appropriate toner color. Then just hit menu select once more and wait for the printer to rotate the toner carousel.
Now you need to get access to the Xerox toner cartridges, which you can do by opening the front panel of the printer. Assuming the proper cartridge is facing you simply pull the lever toward you and then upward to release the cartridge. Be sure to handle the empty cartridge carefully when removing it to avoid spilling toner on your clothing, and then set it aside. Remove the replacement cartridge from its wrapping and give it a few good shakes to evenly distribute the toner, then slide it into the empty cartridge slot in the machine until it snaps into place.
