Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the most 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 machine warranty
does not cover damage caused by using a refilled
cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your
machine.
•To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minute.
Saving toner
To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the printer
control panel; see page 1.19. The button backlight will be lit.
Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and
reduces your cost per page, but it also reduces the print quality.
Expected Cartridge Life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that print jobs require. When printing text at IDC 5% coverage,
a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,500 pages. (The
original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an
average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be different
depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print
a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more
often.
