Note
Discard the used consumable item according to local regulations, keeping it separat e from
domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local wa ste disposal office. Be sure to re-seal
the consumable item tightly so that the material inside does not spill.
We recommend placing used consumable it ems on a piece of paper or cloth to prev ent
accidentally spilling or scattering the material inside.
If you use paper that is not a direct equivalent for the recommended paper, the life of
consumable items and machine parts may be reduced.
The projected life for each of the items listed is based on an average of 5% coverage of the
printable area using any color t oner cartridge. Frequency of replacement will vary depending
on the complexity of printed pages, percentage of coverage and type of media used.
Toner cartridges
A new toner cartridge contains enough toner
to print approx. 10,000 pages for Black and
approx. 6,600 pages for Cyan, Magenta and
Yellow Letter/A4-size single-sided pages at
about 5% coverage.
Note
The amount of toner used varies
depending on how much print is on the
page and the print density setting .
If you change the print density setting for
lighter or darker printing, the amount of
toner that is used will change.
