Service life of the image drum
The image drum can print approximately 50,000 sheets of A4-sized paper (for simplex printing), but the actual
printable number of sheets may vary with the usage condition.
The above number is based on the general usage condition (three sheets at a time). If you print a single sheet
at a time, the life may be reduced by half. A message appears indicating preparation for replacement when
the end of life is approaching.
