Replacing a Toner Cartridge
What are the toner cartridge life expectancies?
Toner cartridge life is directly related to the number of rotations of the OPC.
Longest unit life is achieved with continuous printing which requires a
cleaning rotation after every fourth page of an average size job. Intermittent
printing with small job sizes requires a cleaning rotation after each one-page
simplex job, and therefore impacts OPC life.
A toner cartridge contains enough toner to print letter/A4-size pages at the
percent coverage stated (other factors will also affect toner life):
Coverage Black Yellow, Magenta, or Cyan
5% 8,500 6,000
10% 4,250 3,000
15% 2,853 2,000

25% 1,700 1,200
30% 1,417 1,000

Characters and images are created in your laser
printer through a process that applies toner to
the photosensitive OPCs (Organic Photo
Conductors) inside your imaging unit. Your
printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow,
magenta, and cyan. Handle the toner cartridges
carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer
or on yourself.
