  2. Chip Cleaning: Using a dry cloth, wipe the contact points of the toner chip.
  3. Rail Inspection: Ensure there are no physical obstructions blocking the front cover from closing fully.
  4. Reset: Close the cover and wait for the unit to finish its automatic initialization cycle.

Prevention and Maintenance

Do not shake the toner excessively when unboxing. Clean internal rollers with a dry cloth if you notice toner streaks, and always turn off the unit before handling consumables.
