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 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.
Saving Toner
To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the machine control panel; 
see page 1.18. 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 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 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 
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.
1
Open the front cover.
2
Pull the toner cartridge out and
 
gently roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to 
distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

: If the toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash 
clothing in cold water. Hot water sets the toner into fabric.

Reinstall the cartridge and close the front cover.
