Work flow of parts replacement

The timing for the parts replacement usually depends on the number of output pages / develop counts
after they were replaced before. However, its drive counts is also to be considered when replacing the
parts. Even if the number of output pages has reached the level of replacement, for instance, the part
may still be usable with its drive counts not reaching the specified drive counts. On the other hand, the
part may need replacement even if the number of output pages has not reached the level of replace-
ment with its driving time exceeding the specified drive counts. The life span of some parts such as feed
roller is heavily dependent on the number of output pages rather than the drive counts.
The following work flow diagram shows how to judge the timing of replacement with the number of out-
put pages and the drive counts.
The number of output pages is counted as "4" for 1 page for printing at color modes. This "4" is "develop
counts".
Example 1:
When the number of output pages has reached the specified level
• The parts in RADF
• The parts in feeding system
Replace the part.
Example 2:
When the image failure occurred before the number of output pages has reached the specified
level
Check the drive counts of all parts at PM support mode.
Does it exceed the specified drive count?
No
Check the part and equipment according to the "TROUBLESHOOTING".

Check the drive counts at PM

No
The part is still usable.
