  • Do not throw a toner cartridge into a fire. Toner may fly and cause burns.
  • Store toner cartridges out of reach of small children.
  • If a toner cartridge is stored on end, the toner may harden and become unusable. Always store toner cartridges on their side.
  • If a toner cartridge other than a SHARP-recommended toner cartridge is used, the machine may not attain full quality and performance and there is a risk of damage to the machine. Be sure to use a SHARP-recommended toner cartridge.
  • If any one of the toner colors runs out (including black toner), color printing will no longer be possible.
    If the Y, M, or C toners run out but a quantity of Bk toner still remains, printing is performed in black and white.
  • Depending on your conditions of use, the color may become light or the image blurred.
  • Be sure to install four toner cartridges (Y/M/C/Bk).
  • Keep used toner cartridges in a plastic bag (do not discard them). Your service technician will collect used toner cartridges.
  • To view the approximate amount of toner remaining (indicated in %), continually touch the [Home Screen] button or double-tap it during printing or when the machine is idle. When the percentage falls to "25-0%", obtain a new toner cartridge and keep it ready for replacement.
  • When toner runs out while the home screen is displayed, the "Toner empty" message appears in the upper right corner of the screen.
