ASTM F1856
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers a procedure to determine the weight of toner used for printing a single page derived from an electrophotographic process. The practice uses a printer text target specifically developed for each printer for a page coverage of 5 +/- 0.5% of the printable area. This practice requires specific tools and skills for disassembling and reassembling printer cartridges.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standards. The SI units given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
