Toner Cartridge Life

Toner cartridge life depends on the page density, the percentage of each page that is printed black. The higher the print density, the more toner is used. On average, a toner cartridge will produce approximately 1500 sheets at 5% print density.

The first cartridge you place in your printer will produce between 500 and 700 sheets. This is normal, as the new image drum reservoir and developing roller must saturate with toner.

When to Replace the Toner Cartridge

Replace the toner cartridge when you see the TONER LOW message displayed on your screen. You can continue printing using the toner in the printer reservoir. However, you should replace the toner cartridge as soon as possible to maintain print quality and avoid possible damage to the imaging system.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

Do not remove the new cartridge from its packaging.

1Open the cover and remove the used toner cartridge.

Opening the cover exposes hot surfaces which are clearly labelled. Do NOT touch them.

2Shake the new toner cartridge gently to distribute toner evenly.
