You replace the toner cartridge in a laser printer. Now, all printouts have black specks on both sides. Which action should you take first?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the first action to take when a laser printer starts producing printouts with black specks after replacing the toner cartridge. This involves troubleshooting the printer's issues related to the new toner cartridge installation.

More Information

Cleaning the interior of the printer can remove any loose toner that might have been spilled during the cartridge replacement, mitigating the appearance of black specks.

Tips

A common mistake is to replace the toner again without addressing potential contamination inside the printer.
