Printer and Multifunction Consumable Yields As part of our commitment to quality, reliability and customer satisfaction, Xerox supports industry standards such as those set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This document details Xerox methodologies for testing and reporting estimated yields ®...
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for a printer or MFP. The per-page cost of printing is driving many printer and MFP purchase decisions today, as these costs can be combined with print volume and print coverage assumptions to give companies a reasonable estimate of the monthly and annual TCO for a specific printer or MFP.
Xerox supports ISO/IEC standards for toner and solid ink yields and encourages all printer and MFP OEMs to do the same. Xerox believes that if all OEMs adhere to a single reporting standard, customers will be able to confidently evaluate and compare yields across products and OEMs.

More detail on these specifications is available in Section 4 of this document. Xerox has adopted ISO/IEC 19752 for testing and reporting toner cartridge yields for its black-and-white printers and MFPs. Likewise, Xerox has adopted ISO/IEC 19798 for testing and reporting toner cartridge yields and ISO/IEC 24711 for testing and reporting solid ink stick yields for its color printers and MFPs.
A: The ISO/IEC certification process does not result in the issuance of certificates. By declaring a yield according to ISO/IEC standards, Xerox warrants that it has done the testing according to ISO/IEC standards and guidelines. This declaration will be found in data sheets or collaterals that list consumable supplies yields.

Note — Most Xerox Phaser Printer users can check page coverage by application, or average page coverage (for all printed jobs) by using Xerox CentreWare Internet Services to log into the printer, or by using the Usage Profile utility from the printer control panel.

Envelopes are also at least twice as thick as regular paper, causing more heat absorption to occur along their path. Note — Xerox tests fuser life primarily by using standard laser printer paper, as this is the most often used media in office environments. Specifically, fuser yields are based on...
