Toner Container Replacement
Frequency of toner container replacement
The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required to accomplish your printing jobs. When 5% coverage (a typical business document) of individual toner colors is assumed for A4 or letter size paper:
•The black toner container lasts an average of 8,000 monochrome pages
•The cyan, magenta, and yellow toner containers last an average of 8,000 color images
You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the toner container. The Toner Gauge in the consumables status section on the status page shows a progress bar for each color, which roughly represents how much toner is left in the toner container.
Starter Toner Containers
The toner containers packed with the new printer are starter toner containers. The black starter toner container lasts an average of 4,000 monochrome pages
Toner Kits
For best results, we recommend that you only use genuine Kyocera Parts and Supplies.
The toner kits are supplied in 4 different colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
A new toner kit for each color contains the following items:
•Toner Container
•Cleaning cloth
•Grid cleaner for main charger cleaning
•Plastic waste bags for old toner container and old waste toner box
•Waste toner box
•Installation Guide
NOTE: Do not remove the toner container from the carton until you are ready to install it in the printer.
