Toner Cartridge Storage

mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge, The machine warranty does not
cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

more than a few minute.

see page 1.18. The button backlight turns on. Using this feature extends
the Iife of the toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it also
reduces the print quality.
Expected Cartridge Life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print
jobs require. When printing text at IDC 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge
lasts all average of 3,000 pages. The original toner cartridge supplied with
the machine lasts an average of 1,000 pages. The actual number may be
different depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print
a tot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.
Redistributing Toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light
print occurs. The LCD displays the warning message, "Toner Low." You can
temporarily reestablish the print quality by redistributing the remaining
toner in the cartridge.

distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
NOTE: If the toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash
