To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following
guidelines in your mind.
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you
are ready to use it.
• Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not
cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.
• Do not remove a toner cartridge from the printer except to
replace it, clean it or clear a paper jam. Replace the cartridge
immediately.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minutes.
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that print jobs require. When printing text at 5 % coverage, a
new toner cartridge lasts an average of 2,500 pages. (But, the
toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of
1,000 pages.)
After you install a new toner cartridge (see page 2.2), follow the
instructions included in the toner cartridge box to recycle the old
cartridge.
To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the printer
control panel. The button will be lit. You can also enable the
Toner Save Mode in your printer properties. Refer to "Using
Toner Save Mode" on page 5.6. Selecting this option will extend
the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but
will reduce print quality.
