When to replace toner cartridge

After the message Toner Low displays, the printer will print about 100 more pages, then display the message Toner Empty and stop printing. Printing will resume af- ter a new toner cartridge has been installed.

CAUTION:

The use of original toner or toner cartridges is highly recommended. Using compatible or counterfeit toner or toner cartridges can seriously damage the printer.

Toner cartridge life

How long your toner cartridge lasts depends on the print density: the percentage of the page that prints black. A typical letter has 3% to 5% print density; graphics usually have higher density. Higher print den- sity means toner is used up faster. At 5% print density, a toner cartridge will print an average of 1500 pages. Remember, this is only an average: actual results may vary.

The first toner cartridge installed in a new printer has to fill the image drum reservoir and saturate the develop-

ing roller with toner. The first toner cartridge normally produces between 500 and 700 pages after installation.
