Caring for the Laser Printer Cartridge

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of your laser printer cartridge depends on the amount of toner (density) used in each print job. For instance, when you print a typical business letter with about 5% page coverage, you can expect a laser printer cartridge life of approximately 2,500 pages (1,000 pages only for the starter laser printer cartridge shipped with the WorkCentre Pro 580). The actual number may vary according to the density of the printed page. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

You can extend the life of your laser printer cartridge by using Toner Save Mode in the WorkCentre Pro 580’s printer properties (page 4.13) or on the control panel (page 1.29). The Toner Save Mode uses less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.
