Maintaining the Toner Cartridge

Toner cartridge storage
To get the maximum results from the toner cartridge, keep the
following guidelines in mind.
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready
for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minutes.
Toner cartridge life expectancy
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5%
coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 5,000
pages.(The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine
lasts an average of 3,500 pages.) The actual number may be
different depending on the print density of the page you print.
If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.
Saving toner
To save toner, press the Cancel button on the printer control
panel for 0.5 second. The button will be lit. You can also enable
the Toner Save in the printer properties. Refer to "Using the
Toner Save Mode" on page 4.11. Selecting this option will
extend the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per
page, but will reduce the print quality.
