TOSHIBA E-STUDIO 233 TONER CARTRIDGE

The Toshiba E-Studio 233 will let users know in two distinct ways when a black toner cartridge is empty. First of all, the device will deliver a toner warning message on its LCD screen and, second, the unit will simply stop working eventually due to a complete toner outage. Once the toner cartridge does not carry sufficient toner for proper printing, it must be removed from the machine and replaced with a new one.

To begin the replacement process, first open the front cover of the unit. This will reveal a toner access area underneath with a waste toner bag and toner cartridge. Unless the waste toner bag is full or almost full, we are only concerned with the cartridge. You will know the cartridge by its LIGHT GREEN cover, which can be unlocked by pressing the release tab. Once the cover has been folded open, the toner cartridge can be pulled safely out of the machine.
When discarding a toner cartridge, it is important to remember that Toshiba cartridges are fully recyclable and should never be thrown away or incinerated.

Before a new cartridge can be installed, it must first be shaken thoroughly to distribute the toner inside. A pull tab will also be located on the cartridge that will have an arrow printed on it. Pull the tab in the direction of the arrow and away from the cartridge to unseal it. It is now ready to be installed in the machine.

Carefully insert the cartridge into the machine with the colored cap facing UP. Lock the cartridge into place by closing the light green cap, and then close the front cover to the printer. Within moments, the cartridge will be ready to print/copy.

The Toshiba E-Studio 233 is equipped with a series of dedicated buttons, a numerical keypad, and a touch screen LCD display, all of which can be used to help users create and control their copies. To understand the display presented on the touch screen when making a copy, first examine each of its components, beginning with the reduction and enlargement number.

In the upper right hand corner of the screen, users will see a number followed by a percentage sign. This is the zoom number which represents either the amount of reduction or enlargement that the upcoming project will go through. If this number is 100, the upcoming output will be the same size on the page as the source material.

Next to the zoom number is the quantity. The quantity of outgoing copies can be easily changed, and is shown here. If the number is 1 (the default), then only a single copy of each piece of source material will be made.

In the upper right hand corner of the screen, users will see the date and time displayed. If the proper date and time is not displayed, a service center can be contacted to help to correct the problem. Under the date and time is a blank space that is reserved for alert messages such as low toner warnings and paper jams.

Next down is a row of tab buttons. Each of these buttons can be pressed to access specific copy functions, while the current tab will be in reverse type. When on the front page, the far left tab will be highlighted and an image of the copy machine will be seen. This image can be used to very quickly select the paper drawer to be used for making copies, as well as to display information.
