< How to Read the Drum Unit Life >
The drum unit life is shown by the band graph at the center of Print Settings;
•
It initially indicates 100% and gradually decreases.
•
It indicates 0% when the
Drum
LED is blinking.
•
It stays at 0% even if further printing is done.
< The difference of the Drum Unit Life and the Drum Counter >
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 Settings 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;
