Printing can continue but print quality is not guaranteed.
Ë
“Replace Print
Cartridge” flashes
and alternates with
"Ready".
The print cartridge is at the end of its service life (about 200 pages or
more after near end is detected by main motor rotation) but some toner
still remains (toner end sensor did not detect toner end).
Printing can continue but print quality is not guaranteed.
This condition will occur if an old AIO is refilled with toner. The grey area
in the diagram is marked ‘out of guaranteed range’ because Ricoh cannot
guarantee the operation of the machine if an old AIO is refilled with toner.
