About Replacing the Consumables
If your printed images become faint, access the SelecType Setup menu and use the Toner function to find out approximately how much toner remains in the imaging cartridge.
To determine the amount of toner remaining in the Imaging Cartridge simply count the asterisks between the E (empty) and the F (full) on the display. Each asterisk represents about 25% of the total toner capacity. If you see only one asterisk on the display indicating that there is less than 25% toner left, prepare a replacement imaging cartridge.
Replace the cartridge with the Imaging Cartridge (S051070) even if the cartridge you remove has a different part number. Order the cartridge (S051070) that is specially designed for your high-quality 1200-dpi printer.
