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
The Toner LED will turn on for 2 seconds and off for 3 seconds.
If the LED shows this message, 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 6-3.
Note
The Toner LED will blink continuously if the toner cartridge is nearly empty.
Toner Life End message
The printer will stop printing until you replace the toner cartridge with a new one.
