Managing Toner Cartridges

Toner Cartridge Storage

To get the max imu m results from a ton e r cartridg e, keep the
followin g guide line s in m ind :
• Do not remove toner cartridges from their packages until
you are ready to use them.
• Do not refill toner cartridges.
The printer warra n ty does
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the
printer.
• To preven t d amage to toner cartridg es, do n o t e xp ose them
to light fo r m o re than a few minutes.

Toner Cartridge Life Expectancy

The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that yo u r pr int jo bs r eq uire . When printin g tex t at 5 %
coverage, the toner cartridges last an average of 4,000 pages
for black and each color. The starter toner cartridge supplied
with the printer lasts an average of 2,000 pages for black and
each color.

Redistributing Toner

When a toner cartridge is low on toner, faded or light areas may
appear. It is also possible that colored images may be printed
with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of toner colors when
one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. The
SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling
you which color cartridge is low on toner. Also, if you use the
CLP-600N, “Ready [Color] Low Toner” may appear on the
display.
The printer is able to continu e to p rint usin g the cu rren t to ner
cartridge until the SmartPanel program window appears on the
computer telling you to replace the cartridge, or the control
panel displays that message (CLP-600N only).
You may be ab le to temporarily improve print quality by
redistributing the toner . When the
‘[Color] T oner Empty’ message
appears, printer will stop printing until a new toner cartridge put
into the pr in te r.
