by using the appropriate menus. For example, enter the menu system and follow the
path:
[Con
fi
guration] - [Supplies Life:] - [Cyan Toner]
The percentage of Cyan Toner remaining is displayed on the display panel and the
Ilumina then returns to the ready to print status.
Replacement Indications
The display panel provides messages to the effect that consumables/maintenance
items are running low or nearing end of life followed some time later by a message
that replacement is required. You should replace the item as soon as possible after this
message is displayed to avoid the possibility of print quality being compromised.
The paper feed rollers and the multi-purpose (MP) tray feed rollers do not have any
replacement warning messages. Recommended replacement: after approximately
120,000 Letter/A4 sheets, long edge feed, 20 lb. - 24 lb. (75 g/m
2
- 90 g/m

); heavier
weights and larger sheet sizes will reduce the estimated life ratings.
