CONSUMABLE
ITEMS
This section explains how to replace consumable items when due.
As a guide, the life expectancy of these items is:
> Toner — 3,000 (standard capacity) or 5,000 (high
capacity) Letter size pages at 5% coverage, which means
that 5% of the addressable print area is printed with this
color. Toner life is directly affected by coverage, e.g. at
10% coverage there is sufficient toner for 1,500 pages
(standard capacity) or 2,500 pages (high capacity),
conversely at 2.5% there is sufficient toner for 6,000
pages (standard capacity) or 10,000 pages (high
capacity) in the cartridge.
> Image drum — 15,000 pages (calculated on typical office
usage where 20% of printing is 1 page only, 30% is 3
page documents and 50% is print runs of 15 pages or
more).
> Transfer belt — Approximately 50,000 Letter size pages.
> Fuser — Approximately 45,000 Letter size pages.
The machine is shipped with sufficient toner for
3,000 Letter/A4 pages in each print cartridge. Life
expectancy of this first cartridge will be reduced by
approximately 1,500 pages (at 5% coverage) as the
toner charges the new drum.
