Maintaining the Toner Cartridge

Toner Cartridge Storage

To get the most 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 machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

•Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.

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

Saving Toner

To save toner, use the Toner Save feature; see page 1.27. Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it also reduces the print quality.

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be different depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

NOTE: The 1,000 pages and 3,000 pages toner cartridges have different shapes.
