Expected page output and replacement cycles
Page yield for the E31 Black toner cartridge is evaluated under the ISO/IEC 19752 standard for monochrome electrophotographic printing. Standard test coverage assumes 5% page area coverage. Actual page output varies based on document density, graphic coverage, and print job length.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E31 | Standard | Black | 3,500 | $0.012 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.

Because the E31 cartridge is an all-in-one unit containing both toner and the photosensitive drum, replacing the cartridge automatically renews key printing components, ensuring clean background copies without needing separate drum maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Canon PC745 use a separate drum unit or waste toner box?
No, the Canon PC745 uses an all-in-one cartridge design. The E31 unit houses the toner supply, drum, and developer in a single cartridge, so no separate drum replacement is required.
Why might actual page yield be lower than the 3,500-page rating on an E31 cartridge?
The 3,500-page rating is based on standard 5% coverage, typical for standard text letters. Copying heavy graphics, bold headings, or dense legal documents increases toner consumption per page, reducing overall print output.
Can an E31 cartridge be stored long-term if bought in advance?
Yes, as long as the E31 toner cartridge remains sealed in its protective bag and stored flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, the dry toner powder will not degrade over extended storage.
