Toner cartridge life

A toner cartridge contains enough toner to print approximately 7,000 “normal”
Letter or A4 size pages. A “normal page” is defined as a page containing text and/
or graphics covering about 5% of the surface printed with the Print Density Dial set
to the normal position. Larger pages, pages containing denser text and graphics, or
setting the Print Density to darker levels will lower the average pages-per-cartridge.
(See the following section for information about the Print Density Dial.)

Low toner sensor

The Elite XL contains a low toner sensor that will cause a low toner warning
message to be displayed on the Elite XL front panel display window. When the
warning is displayed, there is approximately enough toner left to print 70
“normal” pages.

Adjusting print density

You can control the darkness of a printed image by using the print density control
dial located on the back of the printer. With the notch on the dial pointing straight
up, the print density is set to “normal”; turn the dial to the right to darken the
image or to the left to lighten the image.
