Consumables design, specification, and
selection are critical and integral to the
development of any computer printer
imaging system.
The yield of the supplies is based on a
5% page coverage using 20 lb bond
paper. In a typical business letter, for
example, text covers approximately 5%
of the page. However, applications that
print more densely, such as graphics
and bar codes, will use the consumables
at a faster rate.
In addition, the type of media used will
determine the yield of the consumables.
Optimum print quality and consumable
life is obtained by using bond media
rated between 18 and 20 pounds. Label
stock and heavier media can also be
used, but the print quality and
consumable life, as well as the life of the
fuser, may be reduced. Refer to the
"Media Requirements"on page 11.
When a consumable needs to be
replaced, an appropriate message will
be displayed on the LCD. Refer to
"Status and Error Messages" on page
34 for a description of possible
messages.
