👉 In most cases, this is completely normal.

After installing a new toner, the printer may:

Why Does It Sometimes Take Longer? ⚠️

  • First installation after replacement
  • Printer firmware checking the chip
  • Machine has not been restarted for a long time
  • Large-capacity cartridges may initialize slightly longer

What’s Considered Normal 👍

  • Spinning for several seconds to around 1 minute
  • Printer becomes ready afterward
  • Printing works normally after initialization
