(TN-high yield cartridge) A4 or Letter-size single-sided pages at about 5% coverage.
Toner Low message
Blinking every 5 seconds.
Figure 5-1
If the LED shows this message, the toner cartridge has nearly run out of toner. Buy a new toner cartridge
and have it ready before you get a Toner Empty message. To put in the toner cartridge, see Replacing
the toner cartridge on page 5-3
■
The amount of toner used varies according to what is printed on the page and the print density
setting.
■
The more that is printed, the more toner will be used.
■
If you change the print density setting for lighter or darker printing, the amount of toner that is
used will change.
■
Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you install it in the printer.
Both Alarm and Data (Toner) LEDs will blink continuously to indicate that the toner cartridge is
nearly empty. This blinking will not stop until you have installed a new toner cartridge.
