Toner life end mode
The life of the toner cartridge is starter: 1,500, standard: 2,500 pages at the 5% coverage. In the
case of low- duty printing, "Toner Life End" is indicated by displaying the 'Toner Life End'
message on the LCD before toner runs out because the developer roller surface or other toner
sealing is worn out due to rotation of the rollers. The upper limit of the drum rotation is 45,000 =
3000 sheets x 15 rotations.
The following graph shows the number of printable pages in the case of A4 printing.
