Caring for the Toner Cartridge Expected Cartridge Life The life of your toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner used in each print job. For instance, when you print a typical business letter with about 5% page coverage, you can expect a toner cartridge life of approximately 2,500 pages (1,000 pages only for the toner cartridge shipped with your machine). The actual number may vary according to the print density of the page you print.
Take the following steps to replace the toner cartridge: 1. Pulling the cover release buttons toward you, open the cover. 2. Remove the old toner cartridge. Follow the instructions printed on the cartridge box to recycle the used cartridge. 3. Unpack a new toner cartridge from its plastic bag, and then remove the paper rolled the cartridge. 6.
4. Shake the cartridge from side to side 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. 5. Find the cartridge slots inside the machine, one on each side. Grasp the handle and slide the cartridge down between the cartridge slots until it drops into place. 6. Close the cover firmly until it snaps closed. Maintenance 6.
