When to Replace the Toner Cartridge
Replace the toner cartridge when you see the TONER LOW
message displayed on your screen. You can continue printing
using the toner in the printer reservoir. However, you should
replace the toner cartridge as soon as possible to maintain
print quality and avoid possible damage to the imaging
system.
Note: We recommend that you use genuine Oki consumable
products in your page printer. Oki's microfine toner
gives you the ultimate in print quality. Third party
consumables may not give the same performance,
could damage your printer, and may affect the
warranty.

Toner Cartridge Life
How long your toner cartridge lasts depends on the print
density, the percentage of the page that prints black.
A typical letter has 3% to 5% print density; graphics usually
have higher density. Higher print density means toner is
used up faster.
At 5% print density, a toner cartridge will print an average
of 1,000 pages. Remember, this is only an average: actual
results may vary.
The first toner cartridge in your new printer has to fill the
drum reservoir and saturate the developing roller with toner.
The 'Toner Low' indication will therefore occur earlier than
with subsequent cartridges. This does not mean a reduced
number of pages can be printed from the first cartridge, it
simply means that the toner has been transferred to the drum
reservoir.
