When toner runs low, "[

] TONER SUPPLY IS LOW" appears in the display. It is recommended that you keep

a set of new toner cartridges so that you can replace them quickly when toner runs out.

Follow these steps to replace the toner cartridge that is out of toner.

Example: Replacing the
yellow toner cartridge

Hold the toner cartridge
with both hands as
shown in the illustration,
and pull it out of the
machine.

READY TO COPY.
([      ]TONER SUPPLY IS LOW.)

If you continue to use the toner cartridge, the 
toner will eventually run out, the machine will 
stop and the following message will appear.

This indicates the colour of toner that is low.

NOTES
● There may be cases that copy images become light or uneven before the message is displayed, depending on

the way the machine is used. If this occurs, take out the toner cartridge by following the same steps as
replacement, shake it horizontally to even out the toner in the cartridge, and re-insert the toner cartridge.
If copy images do not improve even after following this procedure, replace the toner cartridge with a new
cartridge.

● If one of the toners is out, including black toner, colour copying will not be possible. If Y, M, or C runs out but BK

toner remains, black and white copying will still be possible.

Shake the toner
cartridge well to ensure
that the toner flows well
and will not stick to the
inside of the cartridge.

Align the insert holes
as shown and then
push the cartridge in.

After the toner cartridge
is replaced, the machine
automatically enters
resolution adjustment
mode. (In some cases,
this may take about 5
minutes.)

A toner cartridge of a different colour cannot be
installed. For instance, a yellow cartridge cannot be
installed in the cyan position.

Do not push the white
area shown in the
illustration.
The lock lever may
come down.

CAUTION
● Do not throw the toner cartridge into a fire. Toner may fly and cause burns.
● Store toner cartridges out of the reach of small children.

■ Proper storage

1. Store the supplies in a location that is:
● clean and dry,
● at a stable temperature,
● not exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Store paper in the wrapper and lying flat.
3. Paper stored in packages standing up or out of

the wrapper may curl or become damp, resulting
in paper misfeeds.

4. Store a new toner cartridge box horizontally. Do

not store it standing on end. If stored standing on
end, the toner may not distribute well even after
shaking the cartridge vigorously, and will remain
inside the cartridge without flowing out.

For best copying results, be sure to use only Sharp Genuine Supplies which are designed,
engineered, and tested to maximize the life and performance of Sharp products. Look for
the Genuine Supplies label on the toner package.

Supply and Consumables 
The supply of spare parts for a repair of the appliance is guaranteed for at least 7 years following the termination

use of the product - whereas those parts which normally exceed the life of the product are not to be considered
as spare parts. Consumables too, are available for 7 years following the termination of production.
