    CAUTION
    We recommend placing the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly on a clean, flat surface with disposable paper underneath it in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.
  3. Hold the handle of the toner cartridge and pull the toner cartridge up and out of the drum unit. Repeat this for all toner cartridges.

    To avoid poor print quality, be sure to lock the green tab into the home position (1), flush left with the left side of the drum.
  5. Insert the toner cartridge into the drum unit. Make sure that you match the toner cartridge colour to the same colour label on the drum unit. Repeat this for all toner cartridges.
