Summary: Deliberate white band long before toner is used up
Review: Beware this Lexmark "high-yield" toner cartridge. A deliberate white band appears on all pages long before the toner itself is exhausted. The white band -- a uniform area where no toner is deposited -- is about 1/8 of an inch wide and appears about 3/4 of an inch from the right side of an 8-1/2 x 11 letter-size page. The band is obviously deliberate (uniform location and width; sharp edges; no toner deposited at all; band appears after about 5000 pages have been printed). Once the band appears, the cartridge is only useful for printing documents with large (1-inch) margins. (Note: I checked my laser printer carefully -- including installing a different cartridge -- to rule out the printer as the source of the problem.)
