• Toner
Reference values are measured based on ISO/IEC19798. Actual replacement cycles depend on printing
conditions, output contents, paper size and type, and environment.
•Drum
The number of printed pages is a reference value based on A4-size one-sided printing of an average
of three continuous sheets per print job. The actual number of printable pages depends on the
conditions defined above, in addition to the number of continuous prints, paper size, paper type, paper
feed direction, paper tray and output tray settings, monochrome/color auto selection
*
, other mode
selections, the initialization operation performed when the printer power is turned on or off, adjustments
to maintain print quality, and other operating environment conditions. Certain conditions may result in
actual values that are half those shown in the table. The values presented here are for reference only.
* When [Color] is selected on the printer, certain data may use the color drum even when printing a
monochrome page.
• Waste toner bottle
The number of printable pages is based on continuous printing of A4 -size, portrait orientation, one-
sided prints, with an image density of 5% for each color, and a color-to-monochrome ratio of 6:4. Actual
replacement cycles depend on printing conditions, output contents, paper size and type, and
environment.
• Fuser kit
The replacement cycles are targets based on continuous, one-sided printing on A4-size plain paper.
The actual number of printable pages can vary greatly from these values due to paper size and type,
printing environment and other printing conditions, such as the frequency of power-ups. This is because
the indicated number of pages are calculated based on estimations of factors that influence actual
replacement part life.
Though the deciding factor for fuser unit life, for example, is power on time, this is converted and
indicated as number of print pages.
