Your printer just blinked a warning: “Low Toner.” Now you’re wondering how much longer it’ll last. Will you make it through that big report, or will it fizzle out halfway through? For anyone managing office supplies, toner yield is the key to smarter printing decisions.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, we’ve worked with printers for nearly 40 years. We know the value of reliable, high-quality office supplies. Understanding toner yield—the number of pages a cartridge can print before running out—is vital for balancing quality, cost, and efficiency.

In this article, you’ll learn what toner yield is, the factors affecting it, and how to maximize it for your office. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to optimize your printing and keep your budget in check.

“Why won’t my printer just print what I want?”

If you’ve ever said this out loud (or in frustration to your printer), you’re not alone. Office printers are supposed to make life easier, but when it comes to dealing with paper jams, wrong media types, or the dreaded “held for resources” message, it can feel like they have a mind of their own.

But here’s the good news: the issue might not be your printer—it might just be the settings. Specifically, your printer might be media-driven, and understanding what that means can save you a lot of headaches.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, we deal with printers daily, optimizing print environments for businesses just like yours. We’ve seen (and fixed) almost every printer problem under the sun, and one common source of confusion is understanding media-driven printers.

In this article, we’ll go over what Xerox has to offer as it pertains to digital printing equipment, technology, and software.
