Expected cartridge life The life of the print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new print cartridge lasts an average of either 8,000 or 4,000 pages. (The original print cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of 4,000 pages.) The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often. Redistributing toner When the print cartridge is near the end of its life: • White streaks or light printing occurs. • Toner Low appears on the display. If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner. 1 Open the front cover. 2 Pull the print cartridge out. Note If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric. Caution Do not touch the green underside of the print cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area. 4 Hold the print cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into the opening in the machine. Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely. 5 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed. 3 Thoroughly roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Replacing the print cartridge When the print cartridge is completely empty: • Toner Empty appears on the display. • The machine stops printing. Incoming faxes are saved in memory. At this stage, the print cartridge needs to be replaced. For order information for print cartridges, see page 12.1. 13.4
