Toner low是什么意思
"Toner low" is a message or warning that typically appears on laser printers, photocopiers, or multifunction devices when the toner cartridge (which contains the dry ink used for printing) is running low on toner. This message is an indicator that the device has detected that the toner supply is nearing its end, and it's time to replace or refill the toner cartridge to continue printing.
When you see this message, it means that the printer has used a significant portion of the toner and that the print quality may start to degrade. The remaining toner may produce faded or light prints, and the printer may stop functioning altogether once the toner runs out.
To address a "toner low" message, you typically have a few options:
- Replace the toner cartridge with a new one if the printer model allows for user replacement.
- Refill the existing toner cartridge with more toner, if the cartridge is designed to be refilled and you have the necessary supplies and tools.
- Order a new cartridge and continue using the printer until the toner runs out completely, then replace it with the new one.
It's important to check the manufacturer's instructions for your specific printer model to determine the best course of action, as some printers may have unique procedures for handling low toner. Additionally, some printers may have a "toner save" mode that can extend the life of the toner by reducing the amount of toner used per print, but this can also affect print quality.
