Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the maximum results from the toner cartridge, keep the
following guidelines in mind.
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready
for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minute.
Toner cartridge life expectancy
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 3,000 pages. (The
original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an
average of 1,000 pages.)
Note: The 1,000 pages and 3,000 pages toner cartridges have
different shapes.
Saving toner
To save toner, press the Cancel button on the printer control
panel. The button will be lit. You can also enable the Toner Save
in the printer properties. Refer to “Using the Toner Save Mode”
on page 4.8. Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner
cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce the
print quality.
