Managing the Toner Cartridges
Toner Cartridge Storage
To get the maximum results from the toner cartridge, keep the
following guidelines in mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridges from their packages until
you are ready to use them.
• Do not refill the toner cartridges. The printer warranty
does not cover damage caused by using a refilled
cartridge.
• Store the toner cartridges in the same environment as the
printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridges, do not expose
them to light for more than a few minutes.
Toner Cartridge Life Expectancy
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage,
a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 7,000 pages for black
and 5,000 pages for each color. The starter toner cartridge
supplied with the printer lasts an average of 2,000 pages for
black and 1,500 pages for each color.
