-- Putting the Toner In

So we're almost there, we just need to get the toner cartridge
inside the printer and we can turn it on. Now the large sheet
diagram said to shake the toner left and right before putting it
in. This ensures that the toner gets evenly distributed inside
the cartridge.
To put in the toner, we
needed to open up the front bezel. Just put both hands on the
sides and pull it forward, it'll open up pretty easily. Slide the
toner in and hear it click and we're ready to roll.
I closed the front and shove about 100
sheets into the top tray. It says it can take up to 150 sheets,
but I went with 100 anyway.
I did a quick demo test to see the print
quality at 600X600 DPI. I would have to say that the warm up time
was quick. Usually a laser printer needs to warm up the toner,
which can take a certain amount of time. The HP Laserjet 5 at my
office takes about 50 seconds to really start working. The ML-1210
took about 20 seconds to start printing, definitely a plus. Here's
a close up shot of the test print:
The test is crisp and sharp and the speed
of the print was excellent, no wait at all. I did another test to
see if it really was close to the page per minute speed they
stated. I printed the first 35 sheets of the Red Hat Manual
located here.
It finished the print at 3 minutes and 24 seconds, which comes out to
about 10-11 pages per minute. This is fairly close to the
advertise speed although it is 1 page less than what is stated.
