Solution

Overview
 

The Waste Toner Bottle/Box (WTB) stores the excess toner generated when printing. If the WTB is not fully latched into the printer, however, the printer will not be able to detect when the WTB is full. This leads to significant waste toner overflow inside the printer, its options, and even onto the table where the printer is situated.

This document guides you how to properly handle and dispose of a full waste toner bottle (to avoid a mess) and how to correctly install a new bottle into the printer to prevent possible toner overflow.

Press WTB until its outside surface is flush or even with the printer cover (see Figure 1). This indicates proper installation of the WTB.

 

If the WTB cannot be depressed to be flush with the printer cover, or if the WTB does not spring back slightly when released as shown in Figure 2, continue with the next step.
