Expected cartridge life

The life of the print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print

jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the

print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be

affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and

media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the

cartridge more often.

Redistributing toner in the print cartridge

When the print cartridge is near the end of its life span:

• White streaks and light printing occur.

• The Status Monitor program window appears on the computer.

• The Error LED blinks red.

If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by

redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white

streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed

the toner.
