This standard applies to remanufactured and compatible toner cartridges for operation in a typical office
environment.
Outlined are the minimum procedures and test methodologies to remanufacture a monochrome electro
photographic cartridge.
The objective of the standard is to provide three areas for common testing:
1. Provide test methodologies to asses cartridge interactions with the printer and to safeguard the
continuous functioning of the printer
2. Define a set of tests to indicate a minimum set of performance measures (Yield and reproduction
attributes)
3. Provide recommended processes for remanufacture of toner cartridges (see Informal Annex)
No other claims can be made from this testing regarding image quality, reliability, etc.
In general throughout the text, only printers and prints are mentioned for the purpose of simplification.
Nevertheless this standard also applies to copiers, fax machines and multifunction machines as well as to
the copies and facsimiles produced by them however the methods described in this standard are for use on
the digital input printing part of any of these systems.
