Replacing a Toner Cartridge
With average use, the life of one toner cartridge is about 10,000 pages. This is based
on printing typical word processing documents that have about 5% page coverage with
the print density adjusted to the factory default (see page 88).
The life of your cartridge may vary depending on how it is used. If your average
document contains a lot of graphics, shading or bold printing, then the life of the toner
cartridge will be shorter.
To conserve toner, turn on the economy mode setting for printing drafts. A
document printed in the economy mode uses less toner so the print is lighter.
The economy mode setting is like the draft mode found on some dot matrix
printers (see page 87).
When to replace a toner cartridge
When the toner supply in a cartridge is nearly exhausted, you will see white streaks
or faded areas in the printed text and the printer will display the message TONER
LOW.
Before replacing the toner cartridge
You can use the following simple procedure to extend the life of the cartridge:
1
Remove the toner cartridge from the printer.
2
Hold the cartridge at both ends and then tilt it slowly back and forth to distribute the
toner evenly inside the cartridge.
3
Reinstall the toner cartridge in the printer and continue printing.
4
Check the printed pages again.
■
Even if the printed text is satisfactory, you will have to replace the cartridge in the
near future. Be sure you have a new cartridge on hand.
■
If the printed text is still streaked or faded, it is time to replace the toner cartridge.
Follow the procedure in the next section to replace the toner cartridge.
