Toner Cartridge
A new toner cartridge contains enough toner to print approximately
6,000 A4/Letter-size single-sided pages at about 5% coverage (if the
print density is set at level 8).
You can check the current page count or the number of printed pages
with the MODE switch (PAGE COUNTER). For further information,
see “MODE Switch” in Chapter 4.
✒
Notes
Toner consumption varies according to the image coverage on the
page and the print density setting.
•
The greater the image coverage, the greater the toner
consumption.
•
If you change the print density setting for lighter or darker
printing, toner consumption varies accordingly. To adjust print
density setting, see “Checking the Printed Test Pattern” in
Chapter 2.
Toner Empty Message
Check printed pages, page counter, and display messages periodically. If the
display shows the following message, the printer has almost run out of
toner or the toner is not evenly distributed inside the cartridge.
16 TONER EMPTY
Although you can print between 30 and 100 additional pages after the toner
empty message first appears, be sure to replace the toner cartridge with a
new one before it becomes completely empty.
You can select the printer’s action when the “TONER EMPTY” message
appears, whether to stop or continue printing. See
“ADVANCED MODE” in
Chapter 4.
