Dry Ink (Toner) usage and “Dry Ink Low” message

“Dry ink is low” message

Dry ink (toner) usage is related to the amount of area that needs to be printed (covered). The greater the area of coverage, the more dry ink used; for example, a typical office memo would have these approximate values:

•text only - 6% area coverage

•a solid area of 1 x 2 inches (25 x 51 mm) - 8% area coverage

•a solid area of 1.25 x 7.5 inches (32 x 191mm) that is 8.75% of the memo area - 15% area coverage.

Table 2-3shows the dry ink usage and area coverage. For example, at 6% area coverage, the system will produce approximately 21,700 prints. This information will help you estimate how long it will be before the system displays a “dry ink low” message.

		PRINTS PER	PRINTS PER
		CARTON -	CARTON -
AREA	PRINTS PER	2 PACK	6 PACK
COVERAGE	CARTRIDGE	6R849	6R821
4%	30,400	60,800	182,400
5%	25,000	50,000	150,000
6%	21,700	43,400	130,200
7%	19,100	38,200	114,600
8%	17,100	34,200	102,600
9%	15,400	30,800	92,400
10%	14,000	28,200	84,600
15%	9,700	19,400	58,200

After the system displays a “dry ink is low” message, it can print approximately 2000 additional prints at 6% area coverage. This means that a system printing at 6% area coverage, with approximately 21,700 prints per cartridge, will display a “dry ink is low” message at about 19,700 prints.
