Xerox M15 User Manual

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner used in each printed job. For 
instance, when printing a typical business letter with about 5% page coverage, expect a toner 
cartridge life of approximately 6,000 pages (3,000 pages only for the toner cartridge shipped 
with the machine). The actual number may vary according to the print density of the pages 
being printed. If printing a lot of graphics the cartridge may require changing more often.

The life of the toner cartridge can be extended by using Toner Save mode. The Toner Save 
mode uses less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, and is adequate 
for printing drafts or proofs.

Use the instructions below to activate Toner Save mode.

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or hue change will occur. The 
LCD displays warning message ‘TONER LOW’.

When the ‘TONER LOW’ message appears, remove the toner cartridge and gently shake it to 
temporarily re-establish the print quality. Shaking the cartridge re-distributes the remaining 
toner in the cartridge. This procedure can only be performed once prior to changing the Toner 
Cartridge.
