How to replace the toner cartridge when the Ricoh copier is short of toner?

The print cartridge refers to the toner cartridge or ink cartridge. The toner in the toner cartridge is limited. As the number of printed pages increases, the toner gradually decreases. After the toner is exhausted, the printer screen prompts that the toner is insufficient, which means that the printer toner is insufficient. Please refill toner or replace the toner cartridge. The steps for replacing the toner cartridge of the Ricoh MP1610 printer are as follows:

1. Turn off the power of the Ricoh printer first.

After closing the copier cover, we turn on the power of the Ricoh copier. At this time, the screen will display “Loading toner”. This inspection process takes about 3 minutes, so be patient.

After the inspection process is successful, the warning light for lack of toner goes out, and when the screen displays “Ready”, you can copy normally.

The finishing work should be done well, and please pay attention to environmental protection. Screw the cap of the new toner cartridge onto the old one and throw it into the trash.
