Expected Cartridge Life
The life of your toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
used in each print job. For instance, when you print a typical
business letter with about 5% page coverage, you can expect a
toner cartridge life of approximately 6,000 pages.(The original
toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of
3,000 pages.) The actual number may vary according to the
print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics,
you may need to change the cartridge more often.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks
or light copy will occur. The LCD displays a warning message
“TONER LOW.” You can temporarily re-establish the print quality
by re-distributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.
