Ordering toner cartridges

When a 88 Cyan cartridge low, 88 Magenta cartridge low, 88 Yellow cartridge low, or 88 Black cartridge low message appears on the operator panel, order the appropriate new print cartridge. A few hundred pages may be printed after one of the messages appears.

Estimated toner cartridge yield is based on 5% coverage per color. Extremely low print coverage (less than 1.25% for a color) for extended periods of time may negatively affect actual yield for that color and may cause cartridge parts to fail prior to exhaustion of toner.

The recommended print cartridges specifically designed for the printer are:
