Besides the economy print function, are there any other settings or apps. to use that control how much toner is being used or control it.

Unfortunately that's pretty much all there is. I am finding that it's actually using a little less toner over time... maybe everything is finally dialed in properly

I have found that this printer uses a LOT of toner. I only had it for 4 months and had replaced all 4 toners 3 times. I no longer own this printer--It quit working. (said there wasn't any toner installed!) Samsung sent me a replacement--It didn't work at all. I'm sending it back for a refund.

I have one now, have owned one before this... it prints in full color. Check the 4 refill cartridges to see the toner colors.

There is a special mechanism located on each toner cartridge that notifies you when toner is low. I have one of these myself.

Set the print mode under printing defaults. Printer properties, Advanced Tab, Printing Defaults button. Once you apply, or save the settings, it will stay that way.

I find it to be VERY efficient. It also depends what quality you print, I use draft a bit so I use less toner.

Yes, with the punch of a couple buttons. Very easy. BTW plan to only use the real canon toner. I've had horrible results with a couple aftermarkets. flawless results with the name brand stuffOnly complaint on This is there doesn't seem to be a low toner sensor, or I haven't found it. The copier is perfectly content to keep printing with low or no toner.... Very annoying on big print jobs. Bottom line is this is still the best multifunction I've owned by far, and I've owned alot of em...

I only use it for text. The toner is so small and expensive that printing photos is not practical for me.

It's not on the cartridge and I don't have the box to check. You didn't ask this but I did find that the print is very light from the very beginning. For a new toner it behaved like it was about to run out. I didn't report it to Amazon because this is the 2nd order, the 1st order was from a different vendor, that has not worked for me. In other words, I am not having very good luck with recycled toners no matter who supplies it.

Use lower print resolution in print setupand simpler fonts. But depending on Number of sheets printed monthly, seems like 6 months of toner life is very good

For labels, set the paper type to Heavy Paper in the print driver properties settings. This will make the printer heat the fuser longer and the toner will not flake of as easy.

I don't know, but you can continue to print even if the printer thinks your cartridge is empty. Just rapidly press the button 7 times in a row, and you will see the LEDs light up. This puts it into a mode that prints no matter what, regardless of toner remaining.

Adjust settings in prnter preferences to print in black only or change to darker tone using your printer panel buttons

If you used the installation disk, you should see the Configuration Tool under All Programs/Okidata. If you drill down into the Oki "web page" for your printer, you will see a "Toner Remain" visual indication, together with a percentage remaining. For instance, mine is at 90% at the moment. There is another way to get to the printer network web page, by just putting its network address into a browser. If you are USB connected, I am not sure this information would be available to you.

the time it takes to print is relative to the quality of what your printing, paper type etc. Check printer set up (preferences) I use text only and change to text and Image or Photo quality or Best Photo when needed.

That's interesting. I just got the message that the toner is low after printing a mailing, but it was a brand new cartridge and we only printed - at most - 1/2 of what the supposed capacity is. Just a letter, so not excessive page coverage either. I guess the answer is I don't know, but have had some similar experience (though not that soon). Typically this hasn't been a huge issue.

The printer started complaining about low toner at about 1,000 pages with the starter cartridges, but I adjusted the settings (low threshold and low color toner behavior) and continue printing until I notice loss of quality on the printed page. This will save thousands of dollars over the life of the printer. Learned this trick with my previous HP color Laserjet. The HP default settings suggest replacing these very expensive cartridges LONG before you'll notice any degradation of the print quality.
