Maintaining the Print Cartridge

Print Cartridge Storage

To get the most from the print cartridge, follow these guidelines:

Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to install it.

Do not refill the print cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

Store print cartridges in the same environment as your machine.

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

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of the Print Cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new print cartridge lasts an average of 2,000/3,000 pages. (The original print cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of 1,500 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.

Redistributing Print Cartridge Toner

When the print cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light printing may occur. The LCD displays the warning message, “Toner Low”. You can temporarily recover print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after you have redistributed the toner.
