Replacing Consumables
When a consumable needs to be replaced, the printer stops printing and displays an 
error message indicating which consumable should be replaced. The following table 
shows the life expectancy of each consumable.
External factors can affect the average yield of consumables. Some of these factors are:
n
Humidity
n
Temperature
n
Type of paper
n
Run length of jobs
n
Adequate ventilation around equipment
n
Image coverage on page
n
Print Utilization - if less than 80%, projected consumable life may become shorter
n
Print density

Coverage is calculated per printed sheet and is defined as the ratio of area with toner to the total area of 
the sheet. Toner usage is based on 5% coverage when the toner density level is set to the default value. 
The following items affect toner coverage: the printed image content, the paper used, and the condition 
and calibration of the printer. Actual toner usage may vary due to these factors.
