Average life is based on an average of 5% coverage of the printable area and standard
density when the recommended media is used (refer to Example: 5% coverage).The life of
a toner cartridge is varied depending on the coverage, temperature, humidity or media etc.
So the average life cannot be assured. Continuously printing 10% coverage of the printable
area will reduce the life of the toner to about half as compared to printing 5% coverage.
