Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
Toner Cartridge Storage
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following
guidelines in mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until it is
ready to use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty
does not cover damage caused by using a refilled
cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your
machine.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minutes.
Saving Toner
To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the control
panel; see page 1.37. The button backlight turns on. Using this
feature extends the life 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 an average of 3,000 pages. The
actual number may be different depending on the print density
of the page you print on. If you print a lot of graphics, you may
need to change the cartridge more often.
