Concept Of Parts Life; Life Value Of Consumables And Parts; Specified Conditions Of Field Standard Yield; Details Of The Life Specifications - Konica Minolta BIZHUB C3100P Service Manual

4. CONCEPT OF PARTS LIFE

4.1 Life value of consumables and parts

• The life counter value of each material and parts is available from
• Life specification value means an actual life terminated when prints are made under the conditions as defined in the next section, "Specified
conditions of field standard yield."
The actual life may vary greatly depending on how the machine has been used and other factors.

4.3 Control causing inhibited printing for one part when an inhibited-printing event occurs in another part

• In order to reduce the maintenance call times: when printing prohibiting is reached for any of the following parts, make printing prohibited
also for other parts whose life value is reached, and replace those parts at the same time.

4.3.1 Target parts

• Imaging unit with all colors are subjected. Other consumables are exempt.

4.3.2 Threshold value

• The one which has reached its value are judged as "printing prohibited" regardless of the difference with its maximum life value.

The waste toner near full sensor detects near full for the toner replenishment level of the waste toner bottle.
When the waste toner near full is detected, the waste toner counter starts counting, and the waste toner full is
detected when the life threshold is reached.
Each of the number of prints, fusing unit drive time, and fusing heater ON time is counted and a condition is
detected when either one of these counts reaches the corresponding set life value.
Number of prints and rotation time of the transfer belt are counted, and detected when one of those two reaches
to the life value.
Number of prints is counted, and detected when it reaches to the life value.
Number of prints, fusing unit drive time and rotation time of the photo conductor are counted respectively, and
detected when one of those values reaches to the set life value.
