Concept of parts life

• Detected by the waste toner full sensor.
• A waste toner full condition is detected
under the following conditions after a waste
Waste toner toner near full condition has been detected.
bottle Monochrome: About 4,000 printed pages
are produced (continuous printing)
Color: About 1,000 printed pages are pro-
duced (continuous printing)
• Based on the fusing motor rotation data, the
fuser unit driving time is counted.
• The consumption rate is calculated from
each of the fuser unit driving time count
value and the number of pages printed. The
machine then detects the life when which-
Fuser unit
ever of these values reaches the value cor-
responding to the life value shown on the
right earlier.
* The actual number of pages printed relative
to the consumption rate varies depending on
the print conditions.

• The life is detected based on the number of
pages printed.
• The consumption rate is calculated from the
Transfer
number of pages printed and the machine
roller
detects the life when the consumption rate
reaches the value corresponding to the life
value shown on the right.
• Base on the intermediate transport motor
rotation data, the transfer belt driving time is
counted.
• The consumption rate is calculated from the
Transfer belt
transfer belt driving time count value and the
machine detects the life when the consump-
tion rate reaches the value corresponding to
the life value shown on the right.
• Base on the color PC drum motor or inter-
mediate transport motor rotation data, the
imaging unit driving time is counted.
The consumption rate is calculated from
each of the imaging unit driving time count

value and the number of pages printed. The
