How many pages can I expect to get out of a toner (Black)?

Well, I'm still using the original cartridges that it shipped with. The printer has a web page interface where it shows all of the statistics as well as configuration options, etc. Right now it tells me I've printed a total of 949 pages (499 Color, 450 B&W). Images Count Total: 2125 (Cyan: 433: Magenta: 433 Yellow: 317 Black: 942). Drum Count: 949. The toners for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black are all showing 60% of full. I've used %40 of all toners.

High-yield replacement toner cartridges1 (TN-336 BK/C/M/Y) print approximately 4,000 pages2 black and 3,500 pages2 color to help reduce printing costs.(Brother Website)

Each bottle contains 60 grams of high yield toner. The bottle of black toner will produce 2,500 pages at 5% coverage, and the bottles of color toner will produce 2,200 pages at 5% coverage.

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.

It refilled my toner one time. There was a little bit of mess and wasted toner when it flew all over the place rather than going into the cartridge, but not a whole lot, only a slightly fraction of the contents was wasted. I don't think you'll get multiple refills unless you're only adding a little bit at a time.

No problem with 30 pages If you do - lets say 300 pages at once - the printer might heat up a bit

Toner cartridges are rated by number of pages. It depends which cartridge you use. You can look those up.

I am an office manager and for our office I have set our threshold at 3200 pages for black and 8000 pages for color. I will note that we do our best to get the most out of the cartridges, sometimes printing quality is affected, such as faded printing. We shake the cartridge several times to get the maximum use. Just because the printer says its time to change, doesn't mean there is not ink left in the cartridge. Of course it will vary on how much color you have on each page. This will also occasionally not be possible to reach these numbers, due to unusual usage, etc. but on average my office can expect these numbers to be accurate, I just changed out a Yellow cartridge on the 14th that had over 9500 pages.

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

A "starter" cartridge comes with the printer, so you are ready to go when you get it. I have printed 300 pages so far and the printer has 25% of the toner left in that starter cartridge, less than what a lot of folks claimed it might print.

Toner life can be measured in number of prints being as the time it lasts depends on your use.So far I have had mine for 3 months and the original cartridges it came with are still working and the three colors still have 80% left and the black has 60% left. The cartridges it came with is listed to last 1,000 pages each while the OEM cartridges you would buy to replace them is listed to have a life of 2,200 pages for the black and 2,400 pages for the colors each at 5% toner coverage.Hope this helps.

It depends how much toner you are using per page. If you are printing lots of pictures with lots of color all over the page, you'll get towards the lower end of the range. If you print mostly documents or websites with not as much color and not as much print overall you'll get towards the higher end of the range. I have found I usually get towards the higher end regardless. But if you print lots of pictures then its going to go down. I haven't ever counted pages, but I can usually reset the toner cartridge when it tells you to and go for a while before it starts fading.

Yes - typical for almost all printers today, the toner supplied was not full retail amount - probably will yield about 1200 pages, depending on color saturation.Very good printer - fast and good color - not bad for photos - does reasonable job though

Yes, believe it or not, but the toner cartridge is only half the size of the regular full capacity cartridge. I managed to get about 400 pages out of it though. I have bought a full sized cartridge from a cartridge replacement outfit (not Brother) and I expect that one will last me all year, with moderate use. Printing on both sides also saves costs. I got sick of always having to replace cartridges for my colour printer. The laser prints better, and is easier to read.

I got 568 pages duplexed (double-sided), so 1136 one-sided. That was after I reset the toner page count (at toner life end, turn off/on, open cover, press cancel and secure at the same time, cycle thru each toner and reset).

Definitely, I buy printers for my employer and essentially every printer I have ever purchased (Brother, HP, etc.) all ship with a dumbed down toner, I don't know exactly what this one is but it would be a safe guess to be in the 2,000 page realm.

Well, I must admit that I have not been diligent in tracking the page count recently. However, in 2009, when I first got the Q5949X cartridge I did track the print count and that was 5,740 for one cartridge. You can track your page count by "Hold down the green button on your printer for 10 seconds." The statistics page(s) will print and you can track your performance as well. Admittedly, I did shake the cartridge to get additional pages to print, so I squeezed more out of the cartridge than one might get by changing it when at the first notice. I have also noticed with the last cartridge I replaced, that instead of "streaking" when toner is low, the printer simply refused to print, suddenly, one day. That was it for the toner! No more! Gone! ... and with no warning other than the "low toner" message that had been flashing for weeks. I hope this helps you!
