Troubleshooting Tips
"Replace toner" message appears too early: Xerox cartridges use a chip-based counter. Remove and reseat the cartridge to confirm the reading before ordering a replacement.
Faded, streaky, or spotted prints: Gently rock the toner cartridge to redistribute toner. If streaks persist across cartridge changes, the drum cartridge may be reaching end of life.
Colors look muddy or misaligned: Run the color registration/calibration routine from the printer's control panel menu.
Paper jams: Check the paper path and rollers for debris, and make sure paper is loaded correctly and not overfilled.
