Toner cartridge

A new toner cartridge can print approximately 3,500 (standard cartridge) or approximately 7,000 (high yield 
cartridge) A4 or Letter size single-sided pages at 5% coverage.

Note

• The amount of toner used varies according to what is printed on the page and the print density setting.
• If you change the print density setting for lighter or darker printing, the amount of toner used will change.
• Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you put it into the printer.
