Maintaining Toner Cartridge
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following
guidelines in your mind.
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you
are ready to use it. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened
package is approximately 2 years. The shelf life of a cartridge
in an opened package is approximately 6 months.
• Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not
cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.
• Do not remove a toner cartridge from the printer except to
replace it, clean it or clear a paper jam. Replace the cartridge
immediately.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minutes.

storage
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that print jobs require. When printing text at 5 % coverage, a
new toner cartridge lasts an average of 6,000 pages. (But, the
toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of
3,000 pages.)

You can enable the Toner Save Mode in your printer properties.
Refer to “Using Toner Save Mode” on page 5.6 . Selecting this
option will expand the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your
cost per page, but will reduce print quality.
