Replacing the Toner Cartridge
You can check the current toner cartridges status of each color in the [Consumables Information] dialog box in the Printer Status Window.
When the toner cartridges have reached the end of their life (when an error message is displayed in the Printer Status Window), the toner cartridges of the colors have reached end of their life are automatically moved to the replacement position.
If you want to replace the toner cartridges such as before the toner cartridges have reached the end of their life, you need to manually move the toner cartridges of the colors you want to replace to the replacement position.
Before replacing the toner cartridges, see "Attention (Toner Cartridge)."
