Life value of consumables and parts

• The life counter value of each materials and parts is available from [Service Mode] →
[Counter] → [Life].
• Life specification value means an actual life terminated when prints are made under the
conditions as defined in the next section, "Conditions for life specifications values."
The actual life may vary greatly depending on how the machine has been used and other
factors.
The waste toner full sensor detects the amount of toner

accumulated in the waste toner box and sends a signal that

determines the end of the waste toner box life.

of printed pages calculated based on how long the transfer

(However, to detect whether the unit reaches the max. life
value, the machine uses only the number of printed pages
calculated based on how long the transfer belt has run.)

*1: A waste toner full condition is detected with detecting the actual waste toner emissions.
*2: Once the toner-full is detected, it has to be replaced with the new waste toner box in
order to reset.
*3: The initiation of any new print cycle is inhibited when reaching the max. life value.
*4: The mark "M" is indicated the value of the number of distance through which the PC
drum has run translated to a corresponding value of the number of hours and the value.
*5: "Normal" and "Long" are the settings provided in [Service Mode] → [System Input] →
[FWD] → [IU Life Setting].
