Toner cartridges

A new toner cartridge contains enough toner to print up to 10,000 pages for Black and up to 6,600 pages 
for Cyan, Magenta and Yellow A4 or Letter-size single-sided pages at about 5% coverage.

Toner nearly empty message

Check printed pages, page counter, and display messages regularly. If the 

 indicator starts blinking, 

the printer has nearly run out of toner or the toner is not evenly distributed inside the cartridge.

*K stands for Black, C stands for Cyan, M stands for Magenta and Y stands for Yellow.

Although you can print up to 300 (Black) and 500 (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) additional pages (at 5% 
coverage) after the 

TONER LOW

 message first appears, be sure to replace the toner cartridge with a new 

one before it becomes completely empty. When this occurs, the 

 indicator on the LCD panel will 

disappear.

TONER EMPTY message

When the following message appears on the LCD panel and the printer stops printing, you need to 
replace the toner cartridge:

■

The amount of toner used varies depending on how much print is on the page and the print 
density setting.

■

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.
