How to install Lexmark Original Toner Cartridge

• Power off your printer and unplug it before opening the front cover to access the toner compartment. This helps prevent any stray toner from leaking and keeps the work area clean.
• Gently remove the empty cartridge, taking care not to touch the drum or seals. Set the cartridge aside in a safe area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources until you’re ready to install the new cartridge.

• Gently shake the cartridge from side to side a few times to distribute the toner evenly, then align it with the guides in the printer and slide it into place until you hear or feel a secure click. This ensures proper contact and alignment for consistent printing.
• Close the front cover, reinsert any trays, reconnect the printer, and run a calibration or alignment print if your model requires it. Print a test page to verify clean text, uniform density, and no stray marks.
