The main factor affecting toner cartridge yield is the printed area of a
document. The graph is a sample representation of how the number of
copies per cartridge decreases as the printed area increases.
Other factors which can affect the toner cartridge yield are:
The size of the document being copied.
•
Dark backgrounds.
•
Leaving the platen cover open.
•
The number of times the copier is switched on and off.
•
Double sided copying will use more toner per ream of paper.

To get the most from your toner cartridge:
Always copy with the document cover closed.
