You may be beginning to run low on toner. Many toner manufacturers have users gently shake or tilt the toner cartridge back and forth prior to installing. This is to help break up any settling of toner between the time of manufacturing and installation. If that step was skipped, toner may not have been evenly distributed within the cartridge itself.Replacing the cartridge (or possibly removing this one and shaking gently and then reinstalling for a little more life) should solve the problem - unless there is another issue. Make sure you read the installation instructions!Good luck!
