One of the most expensive parts of using a laser printer is the high cost of replacing the printer toner when it runs out. There are some things you can do to make your toner cartridges last a little longer between replacements.
Use the Correct Computer Settings
Every printer is equipped with a computer program that allows you to change the settings each time you send a project to be printed. You can control the amount of toner that is used by choosing different quality levels for your printing projects. Documents that are black and white text can usually be printed at the lowest quality setting and look exactly like they would have looked if they had been printed at the highest quality. If you print several documents during the work week, choosing lower quality settings will make your printer toner last much longer.
Different Kinds of Paper
Not all paper is the same when it is used in a laser printer. Different kinds of paper require different amounts of toner for the best results. When the printer interface opens on your computer, make sure you choose the type of paper that is really loaded into your printer. Printing on glossy paper, for example, will use a different amount of printer toner than printing on matte paper. Copy paper is very porous, so the printer will use ink more sparingly when you choose that type of paper in the printer settings. If you choose the same paper setting for all of your jobs, you will waste ink and have lower quality prints.
Print Proofs in Black and White
Printer settings also allow you to choose whether you want to print your projects in color or in black and white. The best thing you can do to conserve printer toner is to print all of your test runs in black and white. Once the documents have been fully approved and edited, you can print the final copies in color. It is less expensive to replace the black toner cartridge more often than it is to replace all of the color cartridges because they have been used for multiple proof and editing copies.

When you get a toner low message what can you do to extend the life of the toner cartridge before you replace the cartiridge?
The life of a toner cartridge may be extended, in some cases, by taking it out and gently taping it to loosen the settled toner inside. However, many copiers include mechanisms to do this automatically, so doing it manually may not gain anything. When printing, you can choose draft quality in Properties--it won't print as dark and you won't use as much toner. If you have color cartridges, you can opt for black rather than color and save the colors. In addition, many toner cartridges are designed to operate for a specific number of copies and stop after that even though toner may remain in the cartridge. In that case, the cartridge life cannot be extended.

What is a laser printer's toner cartridge?
A LaserJet toner cartridge is a cartridge made up of 2 halves. The halves are either designed as a single unit or designed as two individual units that will work as a single unit once installed. Canon and HP have mostly toner cartridges that are two halves that make up one unit or toner cartridge. The two halve are made up of a drum half and a toner half. The Drum half or waste bin has four main components. The drum which is made of metal has a unique coating on it so that allows it to apply the toner to the paper. It is the only part of the cartridge that makes direct contact with the paper. There is also a PCR or Primary Charge Roller that sits up against the drum. Directly under the drum is the wiper blade, whose job it is to clean all of the old waste toner off the drum as it turns during printing. The Toner half is made up 3 main components. First there is the Mag or Developer Roller. It is often referred to as the Mag because there is a magnet that is in the developer roller that runs the length of it. Not all cartridges have a magnet in the developer roller but the majority do. Directly under the Mag is the Doctor Blade and it is it's job to make sure the Mag gets a even coat of Toner. The Toner is the last component, its specific elements vary for between cartridges but without it, we'd all be using inkjets or working on our handwriting. No matter what style of cartridge, almost all have these two halve in some form.
