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.
