Maintaining the Toner Cartridge

Toner cartridge storage

To get the maximum results from the toner cartridge, keep the
following guidelines in mind.
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until
ready for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge.
The printer warranty does
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the
printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than few minute.

Toner cartridge life expectancy

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, a
new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. (The
original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an
average of 1,000 pages.)

Saving toner

To save toner, press the
Cancel
button on the printer control
panel. The
Toner Save
LED will be lit. You can also enable the
Toner Save mode in the printer properties. For details, see
Software User’s Guide
. Selecting this option will extend the
life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will
reduce the print quality.
