Fuser unit

Service life of the fuser unit
The fuser unit can print approximately 60,000 sheets of A4-sized paper (for simplex printing), but the actual
printable number of sheets may vary with the usage condition.
The above number is based on the general usage condition (three sheets at a time). If you print a single sheet
at a time, the life may be reduced by half. A message appears indicating preparation for replacement when the
end of life is approaching.
To check the life of the fuser unit, select [Functions] - [Configuration] - [Supplies Status] - [Fuser] from the
operator panel.

has stopped.
If you repeatedly open and close the front cover so that you can continue printing temporarily, a failure may be caused
or the print quality may be degraded.
In addition, after a certain period of time, printing will be disabled even if you open and close the front cover. (The
printable period of time varies with the usage condition.)
 If [Admin Setup] - [Panel Setup] - [Near Life Status] is set to [Disable], a message indicating the time for replacement
will not be displayed.
 You can change the timing for displaying a message indicating the time for replacement of the fuser unit. The factory
default value is [1500].
This timing is set from [Admin Setup] - [Others Setup] - [Near Life Setup] - [Fuser Near Life Timing] on the operator
panel.
The setting range is from 500 to 5,000 (in increments of 500).
