14. General Information  
type of paper and how much toner you use for the  
number of pages per print job. The actual number of  
pages your toner cartridge will print may be  
significantly less than this estimate if your unit is often  
used for printing small number of pages per job.  
Because many of the factors that determine the  
actual toner cartridge life cannot be controlled, we  
cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that  
will be printed by your toner cartridge.  
Toner cartridge life  
The toner cartridge needs to be replaced regularly.  
Toner cartridge life depends on the amount of content in  
a printed document. Toner cartridge life varies in actual  
usage. The following is the approximate number of  
pages that the toner cartridge can print according to the  
various printing examples.  
Example 1  
R The number of pages changes with the depth,  
Approx. 2,500 pages can be printed.
