Important
• Toner
Reference values are measured based on ISO/IEC19798. Actual replacement cycles depend on printing
conditions, output contents, paper size and type, and environment.
• Drum
The number of printed pages is a reference value based on A4-size
one-sided printing of an average of three
continuous sheets per print job. The actual number of printable pages depends on the conditions defined
above, in addition to the number of continuous prints, paper size, paper type, paper feed direction, paper tray
and output tray settings, monochrome/color auto selection
*
, other mode selections, the initialization operation
performed when the printer power is turned on or off, adjustments to maintain print quality, and other
operating environment conditions. Certain conditions may result in actual values that are half those shown in
the table. The values presented here are for reference only.
* When [Color] is selected on the printer, certain data may use the color drum even when printing a
monochrome page.
• Waste toner bottle
The number of printable pages is based on continuous printing of A4
-size, portrait orientation, one-sided
prints, with an image density of 5% for each color, and a color-to-monochrome ratio of 6:4. Actual
replacement cycles depend on printing conditions, output contents, paper size and type, and environment.
• Fusing unit
The replacement cycles are targets based on continuous, one-sided printing on A4-size
plain paper. The
actual number of printable pages can vary greatly from these values due to paper size and type, printing
environment and other printing conditions, such as the frequency of power-ups. This is because the indicated
number of pages are calculated based on estimations of factors that influence actual replacement part life.
Though the deciding factor for the life of fusing unit, for example, is power on time, this is converted and
indicated as number of print pages.
• 160K and 200K maintenance kit
The printer has certain components that need to be replaced periodically in order to maintain its functionality
and performance. These components are called the regular replacement parts.
The replacement cycles are targets based on continuous, one-sided printing on A4-size plain paper. The actual
number of printable pages can vary greatly from these values due to paper size and type, printing environment
and other printing conditions, such as the frequency of power-ups. This is because the indicated number of
pages are calculated based on estimations of factors that influence actual replacement part life.
A warning message appears about 1,500 sheets prior to when replacement is necessary for the 160K
Maintenance kit, and 200K Maintenance kit.
