You printer has run out of toner, you need to purchase a new toner cartridge or a re-charged toner cartridge. Re-charged toner cartridges are cheaper that a new one.
You can get a few more prints out of your empty toner cartridge by removing the toner cartridge out of the printer and shake it, don't tilt it on the end, just shake it in a horizontal position and then put it back inside the printer.
You should be able to get several more printer pages.

All this means is that your toner is getting low and advising you before it is out completly the it needs replacing.

Remove the toner and shake GENTLY left to right - NOT over your rug or clothes, etc.. shake it lightly from side to side over a garbage can.. what that does is settles the toner and spreads it out so the printer thinks it is not empty.. if that removes the light, keep printing, shaking, printing until you cannot remove the light.. then buy another toner.

The only reason shaking would help, is if there was low toner or a problem with the toner cartridge, so "yes" it is the Cartridge(s) causing the problem.

the problem isn't with the toner. you have to check the fuser unit

Try removing the new toner cartridge from the machine, and shake it up and down and sideways, over a newspaper. Then, put it back in the machine and see if that helps. Sometimes, especially if the new cartridge was exposed to high temperatures or humidity before you got it, the toner SETTLES inside. Shaking it up can usually help.
