Toner cartridge
A new toner cartridge can print approximately 3,500 (standard cartridge) or approximately 7,000 (high yield
cartridge) A4 or Letter size single-sided pages at 5% coverage.
Note
• The amount of toner used varies according to what is printed on the page and the print density setting.
• If you change the print density setting for lighter or darker printing, the amount of toner used will change.
• Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you put it into the printer.
TONER LOW Message
(Appears at intervals.)
TONER LOW
If the LCD shows TONER LOW, the printer has nearly run out of toner. Buy a new toner cartridge and have it
ready before you get a TONER LIFE END message. To replace the toner cartridge, see Replacing the toner
cartridge on page 75.
TONER LIFE END message
TONER LIFE END
If the LCD shows TONER LIFE END, the printer has run out of toner or the toner is not evenly distributed
inside the cartridge.
In both situations, the printer will stop printing until a new toner cartridge has been put into the printer.
