:: What is Page Yield?
Page yield is the number of pages that you can print with a printer cartridge. It is also known as ink / toner cartridge yield. Page yield is one of the factors you should consider when purchasing a printer cartridge. Some printer cartridge manufacturers use general terms such as standard yield or high yield to describe the cartridges, but each printer cartridge model should have a page yield (the number of pages it can print under standard conditions). It gives the consumers an estimate of the cost per page (CPP) for that cartridge. Other than page yield, you should also consider factors such as the price, print quality, reliability, warranty, etc. when purchasing a printer cartridge.

Let us share some background before we get to the action about the Brother DCP-1000. With a flatbed design this printer also allows you to copy and scan. It is a great laser printer that could be used in various scenarios such as home office use, as well as for medium size business use. As you probably know laser printers tend to handle large volume printing very well without having to replace the cartridge too fast.
There are two parts of the installation procedure. You will need to replace the toner cartridge and also the drum unit but not necessarily at the same time. Usually drum units should last through 4 – 6 toner cartridges but the exact timing will depend on different factors such as type of paper, temperature, type of toner used, number of pages per print job, humidity, etc. Keep in mind that to maximize the longevity of the Brother DCP-1000 drum unit you should always keep the printer clean, dust-free and with plenty of ventilation.

• Do not unpack the new drum unit until you are immediately ready to insert into the printer. Something you need to avoid is to have it exposed to excessive direct sun light or regular lighting because it could damage the unit.
• Both the toner cartridge and drum unit can scatter toner when undergoing installation. If you get toner on your hands or clothes wipe immediately or wash with cold water.
