Toner Cartridge

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner used in each printed job. For instance, when printing a typical business letter with about 5% page coverage, expect a toner cartridge life of approximately 8,000 pages (4,000 pages only for the toner cartridge shipped with the machine). The actual number may vary according to the print density of the pages being printed. If printing a lot of graphics the cartridge may require changing more often.

Toner Save Mode

The life of the toner cartridge can be extended by using Toner Save mode. The Toner Save mode uses less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.

)For instructions on setting the Toner Save mode refer to “Machine Setup” on page 2-20.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or hue change will occur. The LCD displays a warning message ‘Toner Low’.

When the ‘Toner Low’ message displays, remove the toner cartridge and gently shake it to temporarily re-establish the print quality. Shaking the cartridge re-distributes the remaining toner in the cartridge. This procedure can only be performed once prior to changing the Toner Cartridge.
