Frequently Asked Questions
How long can an unopened E31 toner cartridge be stored?
Unopened E31 toner cartridges have a shelf life of up to 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Why does page yield vary from the rated 3,500 pages?
Rated page yield is based on the industry standard 5% coverage (similar to a short business letter). Printing dense black graphics, bold fonts, or high-coverage documents uses more toner per page, reducing total page output accordingly.
Does the E31 toner cartridge include an integrated drum unit?
Yes, the Canon E31 is an all-in-one toner cartridge design that houses both the toner powder and the photosensitive drum assembly, refreshing the core imaging unit with every cartridge replacement.
