2) MCBF: 60 million lines
e Mean Cycle Between Failure (MCBF) is dened to be the overall failure cycle, which
includes random or wear failures that occur until the printer reaches its mechanical life of
20 million lines.
* As the mechanical remains at 20 million lines, the MCBF of 60 million lines does not in-
dicate its useful life.
* All the reliability values indicated above are based on the use of the recommended ther-
mal paper. No reliability can be guaranteed for the use of non-recommended thermal pa-
per.
