OPERATION GUIDE
The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required to
accomplish your printing jobs. Assuming paper of A4 size, an average
toner coverage of apporoximatetly 5% and EcoPrint mode turned off, the
toner container will need replacing apporoximately once every 20,000
pages (FS-4000DN); 15,000 pages (FS-3900DN); 12,000 pages (FS-
2000D).
You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the toner
container. The Toner Gauge in the consumables status section on the
status page shows a progress bar, which roughly represents how much
toner is left in the toner container.
Starter Toner Container
The toner container packed with the new printer is a starter toner container.
The starter toner container lasts an average of 10,000 pages (FS-
4000DN); 7,500 pages (FS-3900DN); 6,000 pages (FS-2000D).
