Tips for Extending Consumable Life
As you check these charts, you can see that increasing the continu-
ous printing output can greatly extend the life of the drum unit and
developer. For example, if your average printing output is 16 faces,
the charts show you that you can expect approximately 160,000 faces
printed for the drum unit and 105,000 faces printed for the developer.
However, if you increase your average printing output to 32 faces, the
charts show you that you could expect approximately 190,000 faces
printed for the drum unit and 123,000 faces printed for the developer.
» Note: The complexity of your print job can also affect the printer
speed and consumable life. Very complex graphics and fonts on the
page can slow down the printer controller and the printer speed.
Although the QMS 4060 uses a high performance controller with a
state of the art processor, even its performance can be affected by
very complex jobs.
Here’s a short list of tips for extending consumable life expectancies:
n
Reduce the number of very small jobs.
n
Fill the trays before printing large cycles.
n
Use the optional LCIF and LCOS to prevent frequent reloading
and unloading of paper.
n
If you print smaller jobs frequently from a network, set up your
host to queue several jobs and group them before sending them
to the printer.
n
Manage you printing requirements to reduce the number of times
the printer starts and stops.
» Note: The selected input tray can be reloaded when it runs out of
paper if the printer chains to one of the other trays. The printer will
continue feeding paper from the other tray while you are filling the
selected input tray and switch back to it after it is reloaded.
