Saving toner

To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in your mind.

•Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you are ready to use. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2 years. The shelf life of a cartridge in an opened package is approximately 6 months.

•Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

•Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.

•Do not remove a toner cartridge from the printer except to replace it, clean it or clear a paper jam. Replace the cartridge immediately.

•To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of the toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5 % coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 6,000 pages. (But, the toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 3,000 pages.)

After you install a new toner cartridge (see page 2.2), follow the instructions included in the toner cartridge box to recycle the old cartridge.

To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the printer control panel. The button will be lit. You can also enable the Toner Save Mode in your printer properties. Refer to “Using Toner Save Mode” on page 5.6. Selecting this option will expand the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce print quality.
