C480FW
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hello,

I bought a laser printer C480FW just 4 weeks ago.
Now I have almost 170 pages pressed and my toner is:
Black - 47%
Cyan - 54%
Magenta - 50%
Yellow - 17% (?)
It has hardly been printed on pictures here. Most of it is black printed.

And how can that be that yellow is already at 17%.
Will not be properly filled when you buy the toner cartridges.

Hi I would like to assist to the best of my ability to solve your problem.I hope the information i supply will be of help.

I will try and explain what happened.With a new machine the toners supplied is a starup kit.This is to setup the machine and get it to work correctly.Some of the toner is used to fill up the developing units.Then the machine also do auto calibrations from time to time to rectify the quality.Maybe check the setting and make sure that is what you have in mind from the machine.

Hope this information will help.
