CHAPTER 2 GETTING STARTED

Installing the Toner Cartridge

This printer uses a toner cartridge to print. You have one toner cartridge as standard. A new cartridge contains enough toner to print approximately 6,000 A4 or letter-size single-sided pages at about 5% coverage (if the print density is set at level 8).

If you turn on the printer without the toner cartridge installed, the display shows the following operator call message to prompt you to install the toner cartridge.
