Managing the Toner Cartridge

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of your toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner used in each print job. For instance, when you print a typical business letter with about 5% page coverage, you can expect a toner cartridge life of approximately 2,500 pages (1,000 pages only for the toner cartridge shipped with your machine). The actual number may vary according to the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

You can extend the life of your toner cartridge by using Toner Save Mode on the printer properties (page 4.11) or on the front panel (page 1.22). The Toner Save Mode uses less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.

Redistributing the Toner Cartridge

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or hue changes will occur. You can temporarily re-establish the print quality by re-distributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.

1.Open the cover and remove the toner cartridge.

2.Gently shake the cartridge to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

3. Reinstall the cartridge and close the cover.

This is typically successful one time only. When the toner eventually runs out, only blank pages will print when a print job is sent, or when

a fax is received. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. See the following page.
