Maintaining Your Printer

5.2

To get the maximum results from a toner cartridge, keep the 
following guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove toner cartridges from their packages until 

you are ready to use them. 

• Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does 

• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.

• To prevent damage to toner cartridges, do not expose them 

to light for more than a few minutes.

The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that 
your print jobs require. When printing text at  5% coverage, the 

toner cartridges last an average of 2,000 pages for black and white 
printing and 1,000 pages for each color printing. However, the 
toner cartridge that is shipped with the printer prints 1,500 pages 

for black and white, 700 pages for colors.

When a toner cartridge is low on toner, faded or light areas may 
appear. It is also possible that colored images may be printed 

with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of toner colors when 
one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. The Smart 
Panel program window appears on the computer telling you 

which color cartridge is low on toner. Also, when the toner LED, 
on the control panel, indicating each individual toner cartridge 
according to its color, blinks, the toner cartridge is low.

The printer is able to continue to print using the current toner 
cartridge until the Smart Panel program window appears on the 
computer telling you to replace the cartridge.

You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by 
redistributing the toner.

To redistribute the toner:

Open the front cover.

Pull the corresponding toner cartridge out to remove from 

the printer.

Holding the toner cartridge, shake thoroughly it from side 
to side to redistribute the toner.
