Toner Cartridge
Expected Cartridge Life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner used in each printed job. For
instance, when printing a typical business letter with about 5% page coverage, expect a toner
cartridge life of approximately 8,000 pages (4,000 pages only for the toner cartridge shipped
with the machine). The actual number may vary according to the print density of the pages
being printed. If printing a lot of graphics the cartridge may require changing more often.
Toner Save Mode
The life of the toner cartridge can be extended by using Toner Save mode. The Toner Save
mode uses less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, and is adequate
for printing drafts or proofs.
)
For instructions on setting the Toner Save mode refer to “Machine Setup” on page 2-20.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or hue change will occur. The
LCD displays a warning message ‘Toner Low’.
When the ‘Toner Low’ message displays, remove the toner cartridge and gently shake it to
temporarily re-establish the print quality. Shaking the cartridge re-distributes the remaining
toner in the cartridge. This procedure can only be performed once prior to changing the
Toner
Cartridge .
