*1Average life is based on an average of 5% coverage of the printable area and standard

density when the recommended media is used (refer to Example: 5% coverage). The life of a toner cartridge is varied depending on the coverage, temperature, humidity or media etc. So the average life cannot be assured. Continuously printing 10% coverage of the printable area will reduce the life of the toner to about half as compared to printing 5% coverage.
