repairs are necessary, or when faults are classified and tracked down, consumables may be replaced
by the serviceman.
5.1 Consumable Items
♦ Paper
Refer to the above-mentioned specifications of paper.
♦ EP CARTRIDGE
This is an integrated cartridge consisting of an OPC drum, black toner, a development unit, a
charging unit, and a drum cleaner unit. Besides the standard 6,000-sheet print cartridge, 10,000-
sheet and 17,000-sheet print cartridges can be selected.
"Detection using the remaining amount of toner" (factory optional) is available to detect the life of
the EP CARTRIDGE. When the cartridge runs out of toner, a WARNING status signal is sent to
the controller.
The number of prints of each toner cartridge is a rough measure under
environments of 22°C/55-60%RH and under conditions of continuous feeding of
standard paper (Letter-size) with 5% image coverage.
To prevent faults, the following parts are recommended to be replaced at every given number of prints.
The life of each of the following regularly replaced parts is indicated by the number
of prints, which is a rough measure under environments of 22°C/55-60%RH and
under conditions of continuous feeding of standard paper (Letter-size) with 5%
image coverage.
