Toner cartridge life expectancy
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that
print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, an HP toner
cartridge lasts an average of 10,000 or 6,000 pages, depending on
which toner cartridge is installed. (A typical business letter is about
5% coverage.) This assumes that print density is set to 3 and
EconoMode is off. (These are the default settings. For details on other
settings, see the description of
ECONOMODE
and
TONER DENSITY
in
“Print Quality Menu” on page 217.)
At any time, you can verify life expectancy by checking the toner level,
as described below.
