Toner replacement

Printers start to warn about toner replacement when they have around 200 printable pages left. The toner cartridge is replaced when the printer start to print low quality pages, and no when the warning appears.

To have the toner cartridge replaced get in touch with the IT Infraestructure Management Unit using formulario de incidencias.
