Replacing Toner Cartridges
Life Duration of Toner Cartridge
When the [
%COLOR% Toner Low
] message
("%COLOR%" indicates C (cyan), M (magenta),
Y (yellow) or K (black)) appears on the display
screen, prepare a replacement toner cartridge.
You can keep printing approximately 200 pages
until the next message appears.
When the [
%COLOR% Toner Empty
] appears and
printing is stopped, replace the toner cartridge.
Even if the cyan (blue), magenta (red) or yellow
toner cartridges run out, you can print in black
and white by selecting [Monochrome] or
[Grayscale] at the time of printing on the printer
driver. However, please replace the toner
cartridge quickly after it runs out, as not doing so
may cause the image drum to be damaged.
The life expectancy of the toner cartridge is as
follows (for A4 simplex printing with default
density, according to ISO/IEC 19798):
The starter toner cartridge is the toner cartridge
that comes with the product at the time of
purchase.
When replacing only a toner cartridge
Note
The actual life of the toner cartridge differs depending on
the usage.
How to Distinguish between Toner
Cartridges
You can distinguish between toner cartridges by the
three digits under the barcodes attached to them.
Note
Have a new print cartridge ready, as the print quality declines
after more than one year following breaking the seal.
If you replace the toner cartridge/image drum unit while it
is being used, the amount of toner used will not be counted
in the normal way.
By opening and closing the top cover after the message
[
Color toner has run out
] is displayed, you are able to
print approximately 100 copies of A4 ISO patterns
(approximately 5 times 20 pages), however further
printing operations will not be possible. Please exchange
the toner cartridge as it may cause faults in the image
drum unit.
