Print-cartridge life expectancy
The average cartridge yield is 12,000 pages in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. Actual cartridge yield
depends on specific use.

is used consistently to print media with less than 5% toner coverage, the toner supply might
outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge.)
