Toner is a very important part for a printer. But finding the right model for your device is not an easy task. Here it is necessary to take into account the correspondence between the printer and the toner in several important parameters.
Necessary
- - Printer;
- - toner.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out exactly which printer model you are looking for toner for. Typically, equipment manufacturers use only one method of imaging in their devices. Knowing the printer manufacturer makes it easy to determine which toner is needed (with or without a developer). Also, make sure you know how to replace old toner with new one and install it.
Step 2
Go to defining basic printer settings. This is required in order to find out the approximate specifications of the required toner. Moreover, you do not need to know the specific values (including the name of the toner parameters). It is important to understand which mode of operation this toner supports. And for this it is important to decide on the settings of the printer.
Step 3
Determine the working resolution of your printer (how many dots it can fit in an inch) and its speed (the number of pages printed per minute). These two parameters are the most important for toner selection.
Step 4
Get the information you need from the manufacturer (in the documentation supplied with the printer), online, or elsewhere. For convenience, many sites summarize the most famous models in one table. If you do not find the model you need in it, then try to continue your search yourself.
Step 5
Compare the printer settings you learned with those of a store that is already charged with toner. If your printer has the same resolution and a similar print speed (the difference of one and a half to two times, but not more than three times will not be very important), then you can count on the fact that the toner from the corresponding can is suitable for your device. Now make sure this toner comes from a reputable company that only makes quality products. Check the included warranty, and also test the purchased product in operation.
