I have often wondered if there was a sort of 'dip stick' out there that would allow one to check the actual amount of toner left inside of a toner cartridge. &nbsp;I change out toner cartridges, and I do it when the printer's status LCD states, &quot;Toner Low&quot;. &nbsp;I shake the toner a few times, put it back in, and wait for the 2nd instance of the &quot;Toner Low&quot; to appear.<br />
<br />
I just wonder if I am possibly getting false positives and replacing toner cartridges that have plenty of toner in them, but for what ever reason the printer thinks it is low.<br />
<br />
How about weighing a full NEW toner cartridge to see what it weighs and compare that to an 'empty' or 'low' one?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

Is there anyway to determine how much toner is left in a toner cartridege?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
