Installing the Toner Cartridge
This printer uses a toner cartridge to print. You have one toner cartridge
as standard. A new cartridge contains enough toner to print up to
approximately 9,000 A4 or letter-size single-sided pages at about 5%
coverage (if the print density is set at level 8).
If you turn on the printer without the toner cartridge installed, the display
shows the following operator call message to prompt you to install the
toner cartridge.
