Frequency of toner container replacement

Note
The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required to accomplish your
printing jobs. When 5 % coverage (a typical business document) of individual toner colors
is assumed for A4 or letter size paper in landscape orientation:
• The black toner container lasts an average of 25,000 monochrome pages.
• The cyan, magenta, and yellow toner containers last an average of 10,000 color images.
You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the toner container. For
details, see Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.3.2 Printing a Status Page on
page 3-17. The Toner Gauge section on the status page shows a progress bar for each color,
which roughly represents how much toner is left in the toner container.
Starter Toner Containers
The toner containers packed with the new printer are starter toner containers. The black
starter toner container lasts an average of 12,500 monochrome pages. The cyan, magenta,
and yellow starter toner containers last an average of 5,000 color images for each.
Toner Kits
It is strongly recommended to use the new Kyocera Mita TK-800 Toner Kit supplied from
Kyocera Mita to prevent printer troubles and ensure a long printer life.
The TK-800 Toner Kits are supplied in each of the following four colors. The letter
