A new toner cartridge contains enough toner to print approximately 3,000 (standard
cartridge) or 6000 (high yield cartridge) A4/Letter-size single-sided pages at about
5% coverage.
✏ Note
y Toner consumption varies according to the image coverage on the page and the
print density setting. The greater the image coverage, the greater the toner
consumption.
y If you change the print density setting for lighter or darker printing, toner
consumption varies accordingly.
y Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you install it in the
printer.

cartridge and have it ready before you get a Toner Empty message.

cartridge is nearly empty. This blinking will not stop until you have installed a new
toner cartridge.
