A.3 Life of Consumables
Consumables
Important
• The possible number of pages that can be printed with each print cartridge is the number of pages
printed continuously at a print ratio of 5% using A4 size paper. The replacement cycle varies according
to the conditions of use.
Note
• The number of sheets listed under lifespan is the number of pages that can be printed continuously
using A4 size paper.
• As the lifespan differs according to factors such as the print contents, paper size, paper type,
environment used, and the frequency of switching on/off the power to the printer, think of it as a
guideline.
• A warning message appears on the printer when the time for replacing a consumable part draws near.
The printer can still be used for a short time after the message is displayed, but you should purchase a
replacement for the consumable part as soon as possible. The warning message appears when the
following values are reached for each part.
• Print Cartridge: Reaches 75% of the number of pages that can be printed (in the product life)
• Fuser Unit, Belt Unit: Reaches 98% of the number of pages that can be printed (in the product life)
Product Life
The life of the printer is as follows:
• When the printed pages reach 100,000 pages, or when the age of the printer reaches five
years, whichever is the sooner.
Important
• The page yield is based on A4 size paper (plain paper) when continuously printing single-sided
documents. The actual page yield, however, is dependent on the printing conditions, such as paper size
and usage environment, and printer initialization on powering on/off, and may differ from the reference
value.
