Toner cartridge 

A new toner cartridge contains enough toner to print up to 3,000 (TN-standard cartridge) or up to 6,000 
(TN-high yield cartridge) A4 or Letter-size single-sided pages at about 5% coverage. 

Toner Low message

Blinking every 5 seconds.

Figure 5-1

If the LED shows this message, the toner cartridge has nearly run out of toner. Buy a new toner cartridge 
and have it ready before you get a Toner Empty message. To put in the toner cartridge, see Replacing 
the toner cartridge on page 5-3

■

The amount of toner used varies according to what is printed on the page and the print density 
setting.

■

The more that is printed, the more toner will be used.

■

If you change the print density setting for lighter or darker printing, the amount of toner that is 
used will change.

■

Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you install it in the printer.

Both Alarm and Data (Toner) LEDs will blink continuously to indicate that the toner cartridge is 
nearly empty. This blinking will not stop until you have installed a new toner cartridge.
