New printers come with toner installed by default. The display will alert you when the toner level becomes low, at which point please follow to replace it.

The printer displays "Select Language" and won't print. What do I do?

The first time a printer is used or if it is ever reset, it must be configured by responding to the on-screen prompts. You can simply press the "OK" button repeatedly, selecting all the defaults, until it says "Ready."

Print a "Cleaning Page." In order to do so, navigate through the following options on the printer LCD screen:

  1. Setup

  2. Printer Maintenance

  3. Print Quality Tools

  4. Cleaning Page

If you are using a recommended paper, the toner cartridge may be defective and may need to be replaced.
