Expected Cartridge Life; Redistributing Toner - Dell 1600n User Manual

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require.
When printing text at IDC 5 percent coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of
5,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of
3,000 pages.) The actual number may be different depending on the print density of the
page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more
often.

Redistributing Toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light print occurs. The
LCD displays the warning message, "Toner Low". You can temporarily reestablish the
print quality by gently shaking the remaining toner in the cartridge.

Open the front cover.
Pull the toner cartridge out and gently shake the cartridge to distribute the toner
evenly inside the cartridge.
NOTE: If the toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold
water. Hot water sets the toner into fabric.
Reinstall the cartridge and close the front cover.
