Replacing the Laser Print
Cartridge
The life of your laser print cartridge depends on the
amount of toner used in each print job. For instance, when
you print mostly business letters, which typically have
about a 5% page coverage, you can expect a laser print
cartridge life of approximately 6,000 pages. If you print a
lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more
often. You can check how many pages have been printed
by printing a configuration sheet, as described in the
section
“Control Panel Button” (page 3-21).
If the Econo Mode option is available in your software
application program, you can extend the life of your laser
print cartridge. Econo Mode uses approximately 50% less
toner than normal printing. The printed image is much
lighter, and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.
When the laser print cartridge is near the end of its life,
white vertical streaks or hue changes will occur. You can
temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the
remaining toner in the cartridge:
• Open the printer cover and remove the cartridge.
• Gently shake the cartridge to distribute the toner evenly
inside the cartridge.
• Reinstall the cartridge and close the cover.
This is typically successful one time only, however. As the
toner eventually runs out, print quality problems will
reoccur and the ERROR indicator on the control panel will
light up (see page 3-20). You will have to replace the laser
print cartridge (go to page 4-3).
