The toner cartridge has been designed to simplify the replacement of the printer’s

cartridge will print approximately 2500 pages where the text covers about 5% of the
page.

cartridge should print over 2500 pages. However, if routinely printing very dense
print, the cartridge will not print a full 2500 pages.
Note

printing. The printed page is much lighter and is adequate for printing drafts or
