Information technology - Method for the determination of toner cartridge yield for monochromatic electrophotographic printers and multi-function devices that contain printer components (ISO/IEC 19752:2004 + Cor. 1:2012)
Informationstechnik - Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Tonermodul-Ergiebigkeit für monochrome elektrofotografische Drucker und Multifunktionsgeräte, die Drucker-Komponenten enthalten (ISO/IEC 19752:2004 + Cor. 1:2012)
Overview
This standard is intended for equipment used in the office space and does not apply to production volume or large format printing machines. This standard describes a method for determination of the toner cartridge yield in pages for monochromatic printers as well as multifunctional devices containing printer components. The method uses a standard test template for typical office use. This standard prescribes the following: - the test method that manufacturers use to determine cartridge yield; - the method for determination of declared yield values from the test results; - the appropriate method of describing the yield of cartridges in documentation supplied to the consumer by the manufacturer. The end of life is judged with either of the two phenomena, "image fade" caused by toner depletion of the cartridge in the printing system or "automatic printing stop" by the toner out detection function.
