Toner low and toner out conditions

When toner is low

When toner is low, the printer control panel displays a

TONER LOW

message and the printer continues to print. The message first
appears when about 15% of the toner remains in the cartridge (about
1,500 pages remaining for the 10,000-page cartridge and about 900
pages remaining for the 6,000-page cartridge at 5% page coverage).

You might prefer to have the printer stop instead of continuing when
the

TONER LOW

message first appears—for example, if you want print

quality to remain consistently high during print jobs or if you do not
want toner to run out during a long print job. To configure the printer to
stop, change the

TONER LOW

menu item on the Print Quality Menu

from

CONTINUE

to

STOP

(see “

TONER LOW= CONTINUE

” on page 219).

Then when

TONER LOW

appears, the printer will stop printing. You can

resume printing by pressing

G

O

.

When toner is out

When the toner cartridge runs out of toner, the printer control panel
displays a

TONER OUT

message and the printer stops printing. You

can continue printing the current job by pressing

G

O

. The message

continues to appear for every job until you take one of the following
actions:

replace the toner cartridge

press

G

O

(the printer will print the current job)

If you want the printer to continue printing when

TONER OUT

appears,

change the

TONER OUT

menu item on the Print Quality Menu from

STOP

to

CONTINUE

(see “

TONER OUT= STOP

” on page 219). Subsequent

jobs will continue to print indefinitely while

TONER OUT

is displayed.
