Near life (Near empty)
Near life display
Near life control method
K: Calculate based on the main motor drive time (distance).
YMC: Calculate based on the Color PC drum motor drive time
(distance).
The drive time of each motor is compared with the number of
prints produced and whichever has a higher use rate is set as
the life value to determine a near life condition.
Calculate based on the toner replenishing time (the number of
times the toner supply clutch is energized).
A waste toner near full condition is detected when the waste
toner near full sensor is blocked for a predetermined continuous
period of time.
Approx. 600 prints can be produced before a life condition is
detected after the near full condition has been detected. (based
on the standard mode)

Life control method
K: Calculate based on the main motor drive time (distance).
YMC: Calculate based on the Color PC drum motor drive time
(distance).
The drive time of each motor is compared with the number of
prints produced and whichever has a higher use rate is set as
the life value to determine a life condition.
The toner level sensor is used for the detection. An empty
condition is determined, if toner is not replenished even after the
lapse of a predetermined period of time after a toner
replenishing sequence is started.
A waste toner full condition is determined after approx. 600
prints are produced in the standard mode. No more print jobs
are accepted after the detection of the waste toner full condition.
The drive time of the transfer belt is counted.
The use rate is calculated based on the transfer belt drive time
and a life is determined when a predetermined life value is
reached.
The drive time of the 2nd image transfer roller is counted.
The use rate is calculated based on the 2nd image transfer
roller drive time and a life is determined when a predetermined
life value is reached.
The drive time of the fusing unit is counted.
The use rate is calculated based on each of the fusing unit drive
time, the number of prints produced, and the fusing heater ON
time; the largest use rate is set as the use rate of the fusing unit
and a life is determined when a predetermined life value is
reached.
