ISO/IEC 19752:2004  Information  technology  -- Method  for the 
determination  of  toner  cartridge  yield  for  monochromatic 
electrophotographic  printers  and  multi-function  devices  that 
contain printer components http://www.iso.org 
The  page  yield  enables  us  to  perform  accurate  comparisons  across  our  products  as 
well as any competitor products. Our research shows that the most likely competition 
for  our  printer  is  a  laser  printer.  By  rating  in  pages,  we  make  it  easier  for  users  to 
compare and see our substantial cost advantage. Additionally, the page test protocol 
is  a  much  better  indicator  of  real  life  consumable  yields  compared  with  older 
character  based  ratings.  The  difficulty  with  character  yield  comparisons  is  that 
manufacturers use different tests, settings, applications and environments to produce 
a character yield. There are no  published comparisons of how one manufacturer 
derived a character yield versus other manufacturers. 
Cost  Per  Page  Comparison  and  Page  Yield  Per Cartridge 
based on ISO LSA Page, 8.5” x 11” letter-size, approximately 
5% page coverage.
