Toner Level indicator

Question

Hi! I buy the 5,000 page toner cartridge for my 1600n multi-function printer. But I do not think the levels are set correctly for this. I get Toner emtpy warnings and that the toner is at 0% - but this is not the case. Normally - I can print another 1,000 papers or more after this. However I have to listen to the annoying beep constantly after the printer says it is at 0%. Is there a fix for this?

This is the information on the High Yield cartridge: The 5000-Page High Yield Black Toner Cartridge from Dell™ is designed to work with Dell™ Multifunction Laser Printer 1600n. It produces high resolution printouts with impressively sharp images and text. This black cartridge features a yield of up to 5000 pages and supports Dell's Toner Management System™ for low toner detection and easy online ordering.

Manufacturer Part# X5015
Dell Part #: 310-5417

This cartridge is $79.99 vs $69.99 for the 3,000 page one. It is .015998 per page vs. .02333 per page. Since we print a LOT of paper - it makes a big difference. I says it supports Dell's Toner Management System for low toner detection - however - it starts telling you it's out of toner after about 3,500 pages.
