Step 6. Install print cartridge

1 Open the printer’s top cover.

Remove the print cartridge from its
packaging (save packaging for
possible cartridge storage).

Caution

To prevent damage to the print
cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.

2 Rotate the cartridge and gently

shake it from side to side to
distribute the toner evenly inside the
cartridge.

3 Locate the sealing tape tab on the

end of the cartridge. Carefully bend
the tab back and forth until it
separates from the cartridge.

4 Firmly pull the tab straight out from

the cartridge to remove the entire
length of tape. Avoid touching any
black toner on the tape.

Note

If the tab separates from the tape,
grasp the tape and pull it out of the
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.)

5 Position the cartridge as shown with

the arrow pointing into the printer.
Slide the cartridge into the printer as
far as it will go and close the top
cover.

Note

If the print cartridge does not slide into
the printer easily, make sure all packing
material has been removed. Also,
make sure the jam access plates inside
the printer (identified with green
handles) are in the down position.
