Toner Container Replacement

Frequency of toner container replacement

The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required to accomplish your printing jobs. Assuming paper of A4 size, an average toner coverage of approximately 5% and EcoPrint mode turned off, the toner container will need replacing approximately once every 20,000 pages (PG L245); 15,000 pages (PG L235); 12,000 pages (PG L230).

You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the toner container. The Toner Gauge in the consumables status section on the status page shows a progress bar, which roughly represents how much toner is left in the toner container.

Starter Toner Container

The toner container packed with the new printer is a starter toner container. The starter toner container lasts an average of 10,000 pages (PG L245); 7,500 pages (PG L235); 6,000 pages (PG L230).

When the printer becomes low on toner, the printer displays the message Toner low as the first caution. Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage.

If you ignore the above message and continue printing, the printer displays the message Replace toner — just before the toner is used up. The toner container must be replaced immediately. After the cleaning is finished, however, the message does not automatically
