Replacing Consumables
• Toner Cartridge — Life expectancy approximately 3,000 pages for
standard cartridges, 5,000 pages for high-capacity cartridges,
assuming about 5% coverage, which means that 5% of the
addressable dots in an image are printed with this color of toner. See
“Toner Cartridge Replacement” on page 71.
•Image Drum — Life expectancy approximately 15,000 pages,
assuming an average of 3 pages per print job. If the average print job
is longer than this, the image drums could last longer, but if the
average print job is shorter, then image drums will be used more
quickly. See “Image Drum Replacement” on page 79.
• Transfer Belt — Life expectancy about 50,000 letter-size pages.
See “Belt Unit Replacement” on page 88.
• Fuser — Life expectancy about 45,000 letter-size pages. See “Fuser
Replacement” on page 94.
NOTE
When installing a toner cartridge in a new image
drum, the life expectancy of the cartridge will be
reduced by approximately 1,500 pages (at 5%
coverage) as the toner charges the new drum.
