Why your actual page yields may vary
Many printer and multifunction products (MFP) brands, including Lexmark, use the international industry standards for page yields (ISO/IEC 19752, 19798, and 24711). These standards specify certain page coverage, printer settings and test conditions for declaring print cartridge yields. Although declared yields are useful when comparing devices, you are unlikely to use your printer exactly as it was tested. As a result, your actual page yields may vary considerably from the stated ISO page yields.
Key factors that can impact your actual page yield performance:
It’s also important to understand that toner is used in several functions beyond its use on the printed page, including:
The ISO/IEC yield testing process is also likely to include fewer non-print toner applications than you typically find in actual business printing applications. For example, some customers use color toner to create a richer black. You can avoid this feature by changing your printer setting to print or copy only in black.
Industry testing is also available for print speeds. Learn more about ISO/IEC print speed test methodology.
