Toner Life
The toner bottle contains enough toner to print 20,000 letter/A4-size
pages at normal (4%) page coverage. If the printer is run entirely in
Conserve Toner mode (Administrator/Engine/Print Quality menu), a
single toner bottle may last much longer but print quality will be much
lighter.
To help you lower your printing costs, your printer provides an option
called Conserve Toner, which simulates draft-quality printing. The
printer reduces the amount of toner used during printing by screening
the black dots in a 1:3.5 ratio. In other words, 1 black dot prints for
every 3.5 black dots that would print in normal printing mode. Increas-
ing the Toner Density may darken your draft-quality printing
The Conserve Toner option can be enabled through your printer
driver or through the Administration/Engine/Print Quality menu.
» Note: The Conserve Toner option is designed for draft printing only.
Turn off Conserve Toner when printing proof or final copies of
documents to avoid any possible distortion of patterns, halftone, and
images.
Toner Recycling
In addition, the printer can recycle the waste toner through the
machine for increased toner life. There are two ways to use this
mode. Either remove the waste toner collector bottle next time you
add toner or close the toner recycling shutter located over the waste
toner bottle. The printer then recycles the waste toner.
▲
Caution: Failure to replace the waste toner bottle will cause the
waste toner bottle to fill and the printer to go into toner recycling
automatically. You should always replace the waste toner bottle when
adding toner to the printer.
Toner recycling will add 20-30% of life to a toner bottle. You have the
option of recycling waste toner (by turning on toner recycling) or dis-
posing of it. For optimal print quality, we do not recommend recycling.
