Toner is one of the materials used in printers that contain lasers as well as most of the copy machines used today. Toner is a type of powder that helps with the overall quality of the materials that will be printed. There is a heating process inside of the equipment that allows the toner to stay in place on the paper. When there is too much toner it will smear the ink. When there isnt enough there may be breaks in the printed words on the paper.
Toner is dark black in color so you want to be careful when you are refilling it. Most of the modern office equipment that requires toner has cartridges that you slide in and out to reduce the mess. You want to avoid getting toner on your clothing or your hands as it can stain.
You will need to order the right toner cartridge or refill for your particular model of printer or copier. This information can be found on the equipment itself or in the handbook. It is a good idea to have extra toner on hand, especially if you have a very busy office. Most of the equipment will tell you when the toner is getting low so you can expect to have to replace it.
Toner is generally quite affordable and it will last a very long...
