Toner Yield / Consumption Leon v/d Willik, Support Engineer, Technical Customer Services Department, International Sales and Solutions Division
Objectives -To create understanding of the toner process -To create understanding why it occurs -To provide some ideas what can be done
Toner transfer principles A short / basic explanation. -Toner transfer based on electrostatic properties. -Toner is actuated in the developing unit. -Loss of electrostatic properties due to too much actuation.
To be ahead of problems Kyocera uses a process called T7 parameter. -Loss of electrostatic properties due to too much actuation. -Toner is wasted if actuated for too long a time. -Time is based on developing unit driving time. -Principle the same for every manufacturer.

Consequences If not done -Toner contamination. -Image quality degradation. -Toner smearing. -Toner comes into contact with PCB’s, roller, etc. -Toner comes into contact with fans.
As conclusion Toner waste if -Consistently printing/copying with low coverage. -Not wasted for every print/copy made with low coverage. -Not wasted if using a balance for low/high coverage. -Every manufacturer needs to deal with this principle
Coverage specifications Kyocera uses 3 ways Printers/MFP based Printers/Smart MFP’s: -ISO/IEC 19798 (Color). -ISO/IEC 19752 (B&W). MFP’s: -Kyocera proprietary. -Will also shift to ISO/IEC norms. -So many customers, so many +1 ways of printing/copying.
Conditions That influence toner yield/consumption -Document type. -Coverage. -Job size. -How often printing/copying -Environment -Perceptually cartridge size
Decrease problems What are the options with our products -Low (color) coverage, start printing (color). -Maintenance mode U147 -Maintenance mode U136 -Change toner at Toner Empty, not Toner Low
