sMaintaining 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 ready for 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.
Expected cartridge life
The toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs
require. Average yield for a new toner cartridge is 8,000 standard pages
in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752 standard. (Average yield for the
original toner cartridge supplied with the machine is 8,000 standard
pages.) The actual number may also be different depending on the print
density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be
affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size. If you print a lot 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 printing occurs.
• Toner Low appears on the display.
•The Status LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by
redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white
streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the
toner.
