Toner Cartridge Life

A high-capacity toner cartridge contains enough toner (yellow, magenta,
cyan, or black) to print a maximum of 4,500 (at normal 5% page coverage)
simplex letter/A4-size pages of continuous print. The standard-capacity toner
cartridge contains enough toner to print a maximum of 1,500 (at normal 5%
page coverage) simplex letter/A4-size pages of continuous print.
With heavier coverages, the approximate maximum capacities will decrease:

To determine your average percent coverage, print a consumables
statistics page (Special Pages/Config Page). Current toner cartridge
capacity information can be found at www.minolta-qms.com (click on
the Answer Base).

How do I know if I need to replace the toner?

When it is necessary for the toner cartridge to be replaced, the message

REPLACE TONER/XXXX

appears (where “XXXX” indicates the toner

color). Replace the toner cartridge.
If Continue was selected on the Engine/Toner Empty menu, the message

TONER EMPTY/XXXX

appears. Even after this message appears, printing

is possible, even though the colors may be spotty. Replace the toner cartridge
as soon as possible.
In addition, a message indicating that the toner cartridge be replaced appears
in the Status Display. (Refer to “Using the Status Display” on page 49.)

How can I tell if a toner cartridge is standard or
high capacity?

Refer to the label on the toner cartridge.
