2. How to Read the Drum Unit Life
The drum unit life is shown by the bar at the bottom of Print Configuration or Test Print as
follows;
•
It initially indicates 100% and gradually decreases.
•
It indicates 0% when the “CHANGE DRUM SOON” message appears on the LCD display
on the control panel.
•
It stays at 0% even if further printing is done.

The drum unit life is based on the page counter. If the average number of drum rotations is
more than the number of drum rotations in non-continuous printing, however, the drum unit life
is counted by the number of drum rotations.
Since the drum counter printed in Print Configuration is an actual page counter after a new
drum unit is replaced, the drum unit life may be different from the drum counter.
For details on the difference between the drum unit life and drum counter, refer to the drum unit
life calculation below;
<How to calculate drum unit life>
**Printing time for 1 page/job in discontinuous printing = 12 seconds
(Page counter reduced by the number of drum rotations) = (Time of motor rotation) ÷ (12 sec.)
Example:
Cold start (Idling for 6 sec.) Hot start Page
counter
1 page/job (6 + 8.4) / 8.4 = 1.71 8.4 / 8.4 = 1 1
2 pages/job (6 + 8.4 + 3.3) / 8.4 = 2.11 (8.4 + 3.3) / 8.4 = 1.39 2
16 pages/job (6 + 8.4 + 3.3 x 17) / 8.4 = 8.39 (8.4 + 3.3 x 17) / 8.4 = 7.68 18
If printing 1 page per job with cold start, the drum unit life is decreased earlier.
