Toner Replacement Process and Expected Delivery Times

This article explains how toner replacements are managed and what to expect when requesting toner to minimise printer downtime.

Overview

United Business Solutions uses an automated toner monitoring and dispatch process that detects low toner levels and triggers replacement shipments to prevent machine downtime. Delivery times vary by location and stock/backlog status.

How toner replacements are managed
  • Toner levels are monitored automatically by a remote monitoring service.
  • When a printer’s toner level reaches a 20% alert threshold, the monitoring system triggers a replacement dispatch automatically.
  • The monitoring system is designed to detect low toner levels proactively and initiate dispatch to avoid machine downtime.
Expected delivery times
  • Major areas: replacement toner typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours.
  • Outer/remote regions: delivery may take up to 72 to 96 hours.
  • Delivery timing is subject to stock availability and any existing backlogs.
What you can do to avoid downtime
  • Ensure your device remains enrolled in the automated monitoring service so the 20% alert can trigger dispatch.
  • Avoid disconnecting the sever or laptop/PC from the network on which the monitoring service is loaded.  This will then require a reload of the monitoring service.
  • Maintain awareness of expected delivery windows for your location (major area vs outer region) to plan critical print jobs accordingly.
  • Monitor toner alerts on your device so you can temporarily reduce non-essential printing while awaiting delivery if required.

Manual Toner Replacement (No Monitoring in Place)

If your device is not connected to our monitoring system, toner replacements will need to be requested manually.

Steps to Follow:

  1. Check Toner Levels:
    Access the toner levels directly on your device.
  2. Obtain a Status Page:
    Print or generate a status/configuration page from the machine. This is required for us to verify that the toner has reached its expected yield.
  3. Submit Your Request:
    Send your request along with the status page to:
  4. Assessment & Processing:
    Our team will review the status page to confirm yield and process the toner replacement accordingly.

Contacting support

If you need assistance or have questions about a toner dispatch, contact the Service Team via the usual channels (phone, alternative phone, WhatsApp or the company website).

Conclusion

Automatic monitoring with a 20% alert and proactive dispatch reduces the risk of toner-related downtime. Expect deliveries within 24–48 hours in major areas or 72–96 hours for outer regions, subject to stock and backlog conditions.
