"# The printer also pauses to do a 90-second AIDC cycle after 200
1-sided pages of a continuous print run, and a 150-second AIDC cycle
when waking up from ENERGY SAVER with more than 1,000 pages
since the last AIDC cycle or when there has been an environmental
change such as in temperature or humidity.

Toner Cartridge Life

A high-capacity toner cartridge contains enough toner (yellow, magenta,
cyan, or black) to print a maximum of 4,500 (at normal 5% page coverage)
simplex letter/A4-size pages of continuous print. The standard-capacity toner
cartridge contains enough toner to print a maximum of 1,500 (at normal 5%
page coverage) simplex letter/A4-size pages of continuous print.
With heavier coverages, the approximate maximum capacities will decrease:
"# To determine your average percent coverage, print a consumables
statistics page (Special Pages/Config Page). Current toner cartridge
capacity information can be found at www.minolta-qms.com (click on
the Answer Base).
How do I know if I need to replace the toner?
When it’s time to replace the toner, X TONER LOW displays in the message
window (X indicates the toner color). Printing can continue even though the
warning appears. However, the color gradually fades out, so replace the toner
cartridge as soon as possible.
You can also access the toner cartridge supplies status using the Status
Display (refer to “Working with the Status Display” on page 46).
How can I tell if a toner cartridge is standard or
high capacity?
Refer to the label on the toner cartridge.
