Consumable Life Expectancies - MINOLTA-QMS ENord magicolor 3100 User Manual

Consumable Life Expectancies

The stated life expectancy of each consumable is based on printing under
specific operating conditions, such as media type, page size, content of
material printed, and page coverage (usually 5% coverage of letter/A4-size
media). The actual life expectancy will vary (or be reduced) depending
on these and other printing variables, including continuous (optimal consum-
able life) or intermittent (for example, one-page jobs) printing, ambient
temperature, and humidity.

Notes: *The imaging unit life is dependent on the average number of pages or the
toner coverage, whichever comes first. For example, if you print four-page simplex
jobs at 5% coverage, the maximum is 30,000 pages. If you print four-page simplex
jobs, and your black (or any color) toner has exceeded a total of 35% coverage, your
maximum is 15,000 pages. The highest coverage of color will lead the life of the
imaging unit, not the average of four colors. A simple display of pages remaining on
your imaging unit life is in your CrownView Statistics. For more information, see the
CrownBooks .
