Consumable Life Expectancies 

173

Use of consumables not manufactured by MINOLTA-QMS or use of 
nonsupported print media may cause damage to your printer and will void 
your warranty. If MINOLTA-QMS printer failure or damage is found to be 
directly attributable to the use of non-MINOLTA-QMS consumables and/or 
accessories, MINOLTA-QMS will not repair the printer free of charge. In this 
case, standard time and material charges will be applied to service your 
printer for that particular failure or damage. 

To order consumables and accessories, go to www.q-shop.com or 
check www.minolta-qms.com or the 

Service & Support Guide 

for the 

MINOLTA-QMS office closest to you.

Notes

 *The imaging unit (4 OPCs, 4 developers, imaging unit 
transfer roller) life is dependent on the average number of 
pages or the toner coverage, whichever comes first. 
For example, if you print four-page simplex jobs at 5% 
coverage, the maximum is 30,000 pages. If you print 
four-page simplex jobs, and your black (or any color) toner 
has exceeded a total of 35% coverage, your maximum is 
15,000 pages.

 

The highest coverage of color will lead the 

life of the imaging unit, not the average of four colors. 

A 

simple display of pages remaining on your imaging unit life 
is in your CrownView Statistics. For more information, see 
the 

CrownBooks

. 

A plane is a single pass of media past the imaging unit. A 
two-sided (duplex) page (also called a sheet) consists of 
two passes of the imaging unit.

The number of sheets printed shown on the startup page 
may differ from the sheets printed and faces printed 
statistics in CrownView and on the consumables statistics 
page (Operator Control/Consumables/Print Statistics). The 
numbers on the startup page refer to number of sheets/
faces printed during the lifetime of the printer. 

The numbers in CrownView and on the consumables 
statistics page refer to the number of sheets/faces printed 
to date during the current consumables tracking period 
(Administration/Consumables/Start Period menu).
