Storing the toner cartridge Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature and humidity. Dell suggests users follow these recommendations to ensure optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Dell toner cartridge. - An environment where corrosive gases are present. - An environment with salty air. 1 Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used. This should be in controlled temperature and humidity conditions.
Storing the toner cartridge 3 Estimated cartridge life Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating environment, percentage of image area, printing interval, media type and/or media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is higher and you may need to change the cartridge more often. 3.
Redistributing toner When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life: • White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side. • The Status LED blinks red. In the case of machine with a Toner LED, it blinks orange. If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
