Hi @ShellyHeston ,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you are facing an issue with the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283cdw is a laser printer, which uses toner cartridges rather than ink cartridges. Typically, laser printers do not have "low ink" warnings like inkjet printers because they use toner powder instead of liquid ink.
However, if your printer is displaying a message about low toner, you might want to replace the toner cartridge soon to ensure the print quality remains consistent. Ignoring low toner warnings could result in poorer print quality or even stoppages during printing.
To replace the toner cartridge on your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283cdw, you can follow these general steps:
- Open the front door of the printer.
- Locate the toner cartridge that needs to be replaced.
- Remove the old toner cartridge by gently pulling it out.
- Take the new toner cartridge out of its packaging and gently shake it from side to side to distribute the toner evenly.
- Insert the new toner cartridge into the printer, making sure it is properly aligned.
- Close the front door of the printer.
After replacing the toner cartridge, the printer should automatically recognize the new cartridge and reset the "low toner" warning. If the warning persists after replacing the cartridge, there might be an issue with the cartridge or the printer's toner sensor.
