Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installing the 5 Star compatible toner follows the same standard procedure as the original W1490X cartridge:
- Turn off the printer and open the front access cover.
- Remove the old cartridge by pulling the handle.
- Unpack the new cartridge, gently shake it side-to-side to distribute the toner evenly, and remove any shipping tabs or protective orange clips.
- Slide the cartridge into the slot until it clicks securely.
- Close the printer cover and wait for the initialization process.
For care, always store the toner in a cool, dark, and dry place in its original packaging to prevent moisture accumulation or heat damage. Avoid touching the imaging drum surface to prevent print artifacts.
