von Ulrich Junker

Consumables

The printers are delivered with toner for 750 pages only per cartridge.

Prices and yield can be found in the table below.

Easy exchange of toner cartridges

Toner cartridge and imaging drum are together in one case (picture left side), a benefit to the user, because contact with toner is almost impossible.

Disadvantage: An exchange of toner is the end of the imaging drum as well.

Imaging drum: With toner container below.

Open drawer: For easy toner exchange.

Cartridges are quite simple to access, an exchange is easy. Just open the drawer pulling the blue handle (picture on top right side). A good solution.

But the handles (picture left side) are a little bit too small. And their coloring would help in finding them.

Cartridges can be inserted in any of the four slots, there is no mechanical blocker to prevent that.

This can easily happen to the novice, since marks where to insert them are very inconspicuous (picture right side).

Cartridges: Easy installation and removal.

Petty mark: Cartridge can be inserted in the wrong place.
