Installation & first use

  • Unpack the toner only right before installing it.
  • Gently rock the cartridge horizontally 5–6 times so the toner powder spreads evenly.
  • Remove the protective seal or strip.
  • Insert the cartridge until it clicks — the chip is recognized automatically, no reset needed.
  • Confirm the non-original supplies notice with OK — this is normal, printing continues normally.
  • Finally, print a test page.

Care & storage

  • Store cool, dry and dark — protected from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Store the cartridge lying flat in its original protective bag.
  • Once opened, use the cartridge up rather than storing it — opened toner cartridges attract moisture.
  • Recycling: Return empty toner cartridges to us free of charge, hand them in at any electronics store (e.g. Media Markt, Fust or Interdiscount) or dispose of them at a recycling centre.

Good to know

  • “Toner low” message: often appears too early. Remove the cartridge, rock it gently again and keep printing — it often lasts many more pages.
  • Page yield: ISO figure at approx. 5% coverage — with graphics or photos the real-world figure is correspondingly lower.
  • Firmware updates: printer manufacturers occasionally ship updates that restrict recognition of non-original cartridges — compatible cartridges work most reliably with automatic firmware updates switched off.

Troubleshooting

Cartridge not recognizedRemove it, wipe the contacts with a dry cloth, reinsert until it clicks, restart the printer.
Streaks or faint printRemove the cartridge and rock it gently 5–6 times again; if that doesn't help, check toner-save mode in the driver.
“Cartridge not compatible” after a firmware updateRestart the printer, reinsert the cartridge; user reports suggest disabling automatic firmware updates helps.
