Toner cartridge 

A new toner cartridge contains enough toner to print up to 3,500 (standard cartridge) or up to 6,700 (high 
yield cartridge) A4 or Letter-size single-sided pages at 5% coverage. 

Toner Low message

The Toner LED alternates turning on for 2 seconds and off for 3 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.

Toner LED will blink continuously if the toner cartridge is nearly empty.
