Troubleshooting
Print quality is poor (streaks, faded text)
Ensure the toner cartridge is correctly installed. Check if the toner level is low. Clean the printer's internal components as per the printer manual. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need replacement.
Printer not recognizing the new cartridge
Remove and reinsert the cartridge, ensuring it's fully seated. Power cycle the printer (turn it off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on). Verify that you have the correct cartridge model for your printer.
Toner smudging on pages
This can indicate a problem with the cartridge's sealing or the printer's fuser. Ensure the cartridge was handled properly during installation and check the printer's maintenance schedule for fuser cleaning or replacement recommendations.
