Your printer displays Supplies on the second line of the operator panel display when there are any supplies that need attention. Press Menu> or <Menu to open the Supplies Menu and quickly determine whether you need to load paper, replace a print cartridge, or replace other supply items.

The average yield of a supply is the average number of pages or images you can print before you need to replace the supply. This average yield is determined using A4 or letter size paper with a 5% toner coverage. The actual yield will vary depending on factors such as the printer settings you choose, the toner coverage on each printed page, and the size of the paper you use.

The paper size affects the printer’s page count calcula- tions. The printer counts an A4 or letter size sheet as one page and a legal size sheet as 1.2 pages. Therefore, if you print all your jobs on legal paper, the yield for a particular supply may appear to be lower than the yield claimed for that supply. The number of images on a page will also affect the average yield page count.

The following sections provide details about when you need to replace each supply.
