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 either 8,000 or 4,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of 4,000 pages.) The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Redistributing toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:

•White streaks or light printing occurs.

•Toner Low appears on the display.

•The Status LED blinks red.

If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.

1Open the front cover.

2Pull the toner cartridge out.

3Thoroughly roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

Note

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

Caution

Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

4Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into the opening in the machine.

Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.
