Replacing Toner Cartridges
Note
● Toner powder may spill if you remove a toner cartridge
before the toner runs out.
Life Span of Toner Cartridge
When the “%COLOR% Toner Low” message
(“%COLOR%” indicates C (cyan), M (magenta),
Y (yellow) or K (black)) appears on the display
screen, prepare a replacement toner cartridge.
You can keep printing approximately 250 pages
until the next message appears.
When the “%COLOR% Toner Empty” appears
and printing is stopped, replace the toner
cartridge.
Memo
● Even if the cyan (blue), magenta (red) or yellow toner
cartridges run out, you can print in black and white by
selecting [Monochrome] or [Grayscale]. However,
please replace the toner cartridge quickly after it runs
out, as not doing so may cause the image drum to be
damaged.
The life expectancy of toner cartridges is as
follows (for A4 simplex printing with default
density, according to ISO/IEC 19798).
The starter toner cartridge is the toner cartridge
that comes with the product at the time of
purchase.
● When replacing a toner cartridge
Type Number of printable pages
Starter toner
cartridge
C, M, Y, K 2500 pages
Toner cartridge C, M, Y, K 10000 pages
Note
● The actual life of the toner cartridge differs depending on
the usage.
Note
● Have a new print cartridge ready, as the print quality
declines after more than one year following breaking the
seal.
● If you replace the toner cartridge/image drum while it is
being used, the amount of toner used will not be counted
normally.
● By opening and closing the top cover after the message
“Color toner has run out” is displayed, you are able
to print approximately 100 copies of A4 size ISO test
patterns (approximately 20 pages, ve times). However
further printing operations will not be possible after that.
Please replace the toner cartridge as failure to do so may
damage the image drum.
