The correct way to replace toner cartridges
The toner cartridges used in laser printers can also be called “print cartridges”, and their consumption is generally in the number of pages According to the data provided by the major laser printer manufacturers, a brand new toner cartridge can print about 35,000 pages. This is only a theoretical value, but in actual use, it depends on the amount and density of the content of each page. different.
A toner cartridge contains a photosensitive drum and a quantity of toner. As mentioned earlier in the article, the photosensitive drum is used to receive a laser beam and generate electrons to attract the toner and then transfer it to the on the surface of the paper. This is somewhat similar to the printhead component in an inkjet printer, which plays a key role in the printing process. Therefore, we should pay attention to protecting the photosensitive drum in the toner cartridge when replacing the toner cartridge, and should be exposed to light for as long as possible, usually limited to a few minutes. At the same time, try not to use toner cartridges and printing paper that do not meet the requirements, which may damage the printer in severe cases. So try to use original toner cartridges. In order to prevent the toner in the toner cartridge from being damp and form a hard block, the manufacturer usually seals it with aluminum tissue paper, thereby extending the shelf life for two or three years. Therefore, the packaging can only be sealed when using, so as not to shorten the shelf life of the toner cartridge. It is best to shake it when using it to spread the toner evenly.
In addition, if the user adds toner to the toner cartridge without toner, the output effect may be difficult to be accepted by the user – the photosensitive drum on the toner cartridge is due to consumption, wear and other factors. It will affect the print quality, so I suggest that users should replace the entire toner cartridge instead of adding toner alone.
