Toner Cartridge Yield
The main factor affecting toner cartridge yield is the printed area of a
document. The graph is a sample representation of how the number of
copies per cartridge decreases as the printed area increases.
Other factors which can affect the toner cartridge yield are:
• The size of the document being copied.
• Dark backgrounds.
• Leaving the platen cover open.
• The number of times the copier is switched on and off.
• Double sided copying will use more toner per ream of paper.
• High humidity.
To get the most from your toner cartridge:
• Always copy with the document cover closed.
• Leave the copier on during the day. Switch off the copier at the end
of the working day.
• Copy with the exposure control set to Auto exposure unless you need
to adjust for the background of your original.
• Operate the copier in a dry environment whenever possible.
