Service life and replacement cycle of maintenance parts
The maintenance part is the target product of COREFIDO free maintenance parts service.
Maintenance kit
The maintenance kit is a set of a fuser and a transfer roller.
Service life of the maintenance kit
The fuser unit and the transfer roller can print approximately 120,000 sheets of A4-sized paper (fed in
landscape for simplex printing), but the actual printable number of sheets may vary with the usage condition.
The above number is based on the general usage condition (three sheets at a time). If you print a single sheet
at a time, the life may be reduced by half.
A message appears indicating preparation for replacement when the end of life is approaching.
To check the life of the fuser, select [Functions] - [Configuration] - [Supplies Status] - [Fuser] on the operator
panel.
For Windows, when you are using the Monitoring Tool, the Monitoring Tool will pop up a message to notify you
that it is time to replace the maintenance kit.

If [Admin Setup] - [Panel Setup] - [Near Life Status] is set to [Disable], a message indicating the time for replacement
will not be displayed.
You can change the timing for displaying a message indicating the time for replacement of the fuser. The factory
default setting is [2500].
This timing is set from [Admin Setup] - [Others Setup] - [Near Life Setup] - [Fuser Near Life Timing] on the operator
panel.
The setting range is from 500 to 5,000 (in increments of 500).
