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 it’s ready to 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 minutes.

Saving Toner

To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the machine control panel;
see page 1.17. The button backlight turns on. 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 3,000 pages. The actual number may be different
depending on the print density of the page you print on. If you print a lot of
graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Redistributing Toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light
print occurs. The LCD displays the warning message, “[Toner Low].” You can
temporarily reestablish the print quality by redistributing the remaining
toner in the cartridge.

1

Open the front cover.

2

Pull the toner cartridge out and

gently roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to

distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

OTE

: If the toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash

clothing in cold water. Hot water sets the toner into fabric.

3

Reinstall the cartridge and close the front cover.
