These figures are based on an average of 5% coverage of the printable area and
standard density for any one color (refer to Example A : Monochrome 5%
coverage). 4 colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) are used for full color print.
The replacement frequency will vary depending on the complexity of the prints and
the coverage of each color and print density.
Example B is an example of full color print. The percentage of coverage for each
color is as follows.
Cyan : 40%, Magenta : 22%, Yellow : 35%, Black : 20%
If you continuously print this page, the average life of the Color Imaging Unit will be
