Replacing the Toner Cartridge 8
A toner cartridge contains enough toner to print letter/A4-size pages at the
percent coverage stated (other factors will also affect toner life):
When a toner cartridge runs low,
TONER LOW
displays in the message
window and ther is approximately 5% toner remaining. Printing continues
even though the warning appears. However, the image gradually fades, so
replace the toner cartridge as soon as possible.
Approximately 750 pages after the printer displays
TONER LOW
in the
message window, the printer displays
TONER EMPTY
, and the printer stops.
How should I handle the toner cartridge?
Keep the toner cartridge
„
Away from open flames.
„
In its packaging until you’re ready to install it.
„
In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat).
The maximum storage temperature is 95 ° F (35 ° C) and the maximum
storage humidity is 80% without condensation. If the toner cartridge is
moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may
occur, degrading print quality. Allow the toner to adapt to the environment
for about one hour before use.
„
Level during storage.
Do not store cartridges on their ends or turn them upside down; the toner
inside the cartridges may become caked or unequally distributed.
„
Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols.
