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 control 
panel; see page 2.24. 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 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 ISO 19752 5% 
coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,500 or 
5,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the 
machine lasts an average of 3,500 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.
