Coverage is calculated per printed sheet and is defined as the ratio of area with toner to the total area of the sheet.
Toner usage is based on 5% coverage when the toner density level is set to the default value. The following items
affect toner coverage: the printed image content, the paper used, and the condition and calibration of the printer.
Actual toner usage may vary due to these factors.
