Troubleshooting
Print quality is poor (streaks, faded areas, or missing text)
Ensure the toner cartridge was installed correctly and all protective seals were removed. Try printing a test page. If the issue persists, the cartridge may be nearing the end of its life or there might be a printer issue. Clean the printer's interior according to the printer manual.
Printer not recognizing the toner cartridge
Remove and reinsert the toner cartridge, ensuring it is securely seated. Check the printer's contacts and the cartridge's contacts for any debris and clean them gently with a dry, lint-free cloth. Restart the printer.
Yellow color is not printing or is inaccurate
Verify that the correct yellow toner cartridge is installed. Run the printer's color calibration or alignment utility. Check if the printer's toner density settings need adjustment.
