MX3500N MAINTENANCE 9 – 5
* The PM cycle means the replacement timing of periodic replace-
ment consumable parts which are required for maintaining the
performance.
* The PM cycle is specified only for B/W output. For color output, it
is used as a reference value.
[Reason]
Since the ratio of B/W to color differs depending on the user's oper-
ation scene which varies every day, the PM cycle cannot be speci-
fied in a certain cycle for color output.
Replacement of a PM item at the recommended life is performed
by the dealer's judgment or at PM call or at EM call.
Life end definition of a drum
When the drum counter exceeds the specified level of 100% black
output or 100% full color output, it is judged as life end.
However in practice, wear cannot be specified by rotations
because racing is increased in the tandem engine by the mixing
ratio of black and color outputs or when black output is made in the
color mode in ACS. For the reference of product quality, wear is
specified by the drum rotations. The rotation of the MX-3500/MX-
4500 series drum rotation is 840K.
The drum life is affected by the print quantity of one job. This is
because the actual life is determined by the rotations of the drum.
When the print quantity of one job is 5 or less, the number of rota-
tions for one page is increased. As shown in the graph below,
therefore, the drum life quantity varies for each print quantity of one
job.
"Life meter" can be checked with SIM22-1 according to each drum
rotations as the drum life.
"Life meter" indicates the remained life (%) of the drum with the
entire drum life as 100%.
(Example) If the used number of rotations is 550K:
100(%) – 550 (K rotations) / 840 (K rotations) x 100 = 040 (%)
* For 100% full color output by the user, the life of the black drum
is 100K similarly to the life of the color drums.
