Managing Toner Cartridges

Toner Cartridge Storage

To get the maximum results from a toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind:

•Do not remove toner cartridges from their packages until you are ready to use them.

•Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

•Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.

•To prevent damage to toner cartridges, do not expose them to light for more than a few minutes.

To redistribute the toner:

1Open the front cover.

2Pull the corresponding toner cartridge out to remove from the printer.

Toner Cartridge Life Expectancy

The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, the toner cartridges last an average of 2,000 pages for black and white printing and 1,000 pages for each color printing. However, the toner cartridge that is shipped with the printer prints 1,500 pages for black and white, 700 pages for colors.

Redistributing Toner

When a toner cartridge is low on toner, faded or light areas may appear. It is also possible that colored images may be printed with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of toner colors when one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling you which color cartridge is low on toner. Also, when the toner LED, on the control panel, indicating each individual toner cartridge according to its color, blinks, the toner cartridge is low.

The printer is able to continue to print using the current toner cartridge until the Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling you to replace the cartridge.

You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner.

3Holding the toner cartridge, shake thoroughly it from side to side to redistribute the toner.
