March 2018 I installed a new toner cartridge, the “high yield” cartridge that is advertised to print 3500 pages. August 13 2018 “low toner” message displays (regularly) and message that <50 pages can be printed. The printer stats say only 883 pages have been printed since installation! What is best way to get a refund? Is there something wrong with the printer, cartridge or both?

Hi silksox,

 

First thing to check is if there is a low toner alert setting for your printer model. If there is, set this very low such as 10%.

 

Secondly, the 3,500 pages that you saw concerns that your average printed page is at 5% page coverage. This means that the maximum you could get with this toner cartridge is 3,500 pages approximately. More information on this at below link:

I hope this may help,

 

Cheers!
