“Uh-Oh … Is It Time You Changed Your Toner Cartridge?”

Modern laser printers are the workhorses of the computer printing world. They’re almost always hugely reliable: toner cartridges consistently produce crisp, clear text and images over hundreds and thousands of copies. That’s why they’re the mainstay of so many office systems.

But inevitably the time comes when something goes wrong: the first sign might be a section of a page that prints faintly or not at all; text over the whole page might be grey rather than black, or it may have smudging or backgrounding.

So refer to your printer manual. It’s possible that the toner cartridge isn’t the cause of the problem and you’ll need to get a service call. But if you suspect that the laser toner is running low, here’s something that might be a short-term solution:

• carefully remove the cartridge from the printer and hold it level at both ends
• keeping it level, turn the cartridge to and fro along its axis (by rotating your wrists) for a few moments

This can help redistribute any remaining laser toner left inside the cartridge and you may be able to print a few more pages. Just be careful not to shake or drop the cartridge - you don’t want to have to clear up spillages!

If it’s likely that your printer toner is running low, you’ll need to replace it soon. But if you don’t have a spare ready, don’t panic: you’ll find the toner cartridge that you need when you go online. You can order in minutes and they’ll ship your laser toner to you fast.
