Changing the Toner Cartridge
A toner cartridge can print approximately 15,000 pages of letter-size paper, containing
text or graphics that cover 5% of the page. The TonerMiser feature, which is ECONO
setting in CONFIG menu, can provide double the page yield, depending upon the type
of printing.
The page-per-cartridge average decreases if you routinely print text or graphics that
cover more than 5% of the page.
When the toner cartridge is low or empty, the 02 TONER LOW message appears in the
display.
To display the number of pages printed using the current toner cartridge, select TONER
CTR on the Machine Info Menu (see “Machine Information Menu” on page 80). Note
that the counter is accurate only if it was reset when the current cartridge was installed.
Important
Only use a toner cartridge, part number 63H5721, that is designed specifically for
the Network Printer 24 and 24PS. See “Ordering Supplies” on page 19, for
information on ordering toner cartridges. Check the toner package for instructions
on how to return empty toner cartridges to IBM.
The toner cartridge contains a photosensitive drum and toner. Follow these steps to
