Consumable Life Expectancies

Attention
Although the printer was designed for occasional printing on a wide
range of media types, it is not intended for printing exclusively on a
single media type, except plain paper. Continuous printing on media
other than plain paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or
transparencies) may adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life.
Antistatic Protection
Attention
It’s extremely important to protect the printer from electrostatic damage
while all operations are being performed.
If you don’t have an antistatic wrist strap, discharge your body’s static
electric charge by touching a grounded surface before performing any
servicing operation. Also, avoid walking around after grounding
yourself.
What is a “face”?
A “face” is a single pass of media past the transfer belt unit. A two-sided
(duplex) page (also called a “sheet”) consists of two faces.
Consumable Life Expectancies
Attention
Consumable life is expressed in simplex letter/A4-size pages with
normal (5%) coverage in continuous printing. A duplex page is
equivalent to two simplex pages.
The stated life expectancy of each consumable is based on standard
mode, normal single-sided page coverage (usually 5% of letter/A4-size
media), and on whether printing is continuous (for optimal consumable
life, such as 500 pages), average (three pages), or intermittent (one
page) job size, and on specific operating conditions such as media
type, number of color faces, and page size.
The actual life expectancy will vary based on printing under these
specific operating conditions and other printing variables, such as
ambient temperature, humidity, and content of material printed (for
example, text or graphics).
