3. Make sure the Toner Cartridge in question is correctly positioned and the right hand clip is pushed back

4. Holding it by its top centre, lift the image drum, complete with its toner cartridge, up and out of the printer.
5. On the Right hand side of the toner look for a sensor patch, make sure this is not dirty. This patch may be different depending
how old your consumable is. (Images 1 & 2) If the patch is dirty it can be cleaned with a soft object such as cotton wool.

Now look inside the printer opposite to where the sensor patch would sit. There is a black square with a sensor located inside. Also check
to make sure this is not dirty. (Image 3)

6. Replace the drum and toner, and close the printer cover.
