Toner cartridge life
The toner cartridge has been designed to simplify the replacement of the printer’s major parts. The toner cartridge contains the printing mechanism and a supply of toner. When using a typical word- processing application, a toner cartridge will print approximately 2500 pages where the text covers about five percent of the page.

When regularly printing pages with less coverage, such as short memos, a toner cartridge should print over 2,500 pages. However, if routinely printing very dense print, the cartridge will not print a full 2,500 pages.

Saving toner with EconoMode
Toner cartridge life can be extended dramatically by using the EconoMode printing feature of the printer. EconoMode uses approximately 50 percent less toner than normal printing. The printed page is much lighter and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. EconoMode can be set through your printer driver. See Chapter 5 for more information.
Some software applications may refer to this as “draft mode.”
