How to Change the Waste Toner on a Sharp Photocopier
As your printer is in use, used toner builds up in the waste toner cartridge. Eventually, you will need to change the waste toner cartridge.
How to know when to change the waste toner cartridge
Your Sharp photocopier will prompt you when the waste toner bottle is close to being full and that you’ll soon need to change the waste toner. You can also check the waste toner level on the control panel of your photocopier.
How to change the waste toner cartridge
Step 1
Open the front cover on your Sharp device. The waste toner cartridge is the black box immediately in front of you, underneath the toner cartridges.
Step 2
Press in the two lime green buttons on each side, and the waste toner cartridge will pop out. On some older Sharp models you will have a green slider in order to release the waste toner cartridge.
Step 3
Take care when removing the cartridge as there are open toner ports across the top. The best practice is to immediately place the used cartridge in a bag and seal it. That way if the cartridge is shaken or dropped you won’t get toner everywhere.
Step 4
To fit the new waste toner cartridge, simply line up the hinge points on the new cartridge with the corresponding points on the photocopier and press down until it clicks into place.
Step 5
Close the front cover of your photocopier and you’re done!
