To determine whether your consumables replacement intervals will be longer or shorter than
those in Section 4.3.1 Recommended Replacement Intervals, examine the typical media you use
and print jobs that you will run on the printer and compare them with the assumptions in this
section. Heavy toner coverage and/or non-standard media may reduce the lifespan of your
consumables.

4.4 Ordering Consumables

For best quality printing results, always use Printronix consumables. See Chapter 7 for
information about ordering consumables.
It is always a good idea to keep spare toner on hand so that you do not run out. A spare OPC
unit may also prove useful in maintaining the best image quality.

4.5 Storing Consumables

You should store consumables in an environment with relatively low humidity and moderate
temperature. An environment with high humidity and hot or cold temperature will reduce the
amount of time that the consumables can be stored without degradation. Do not leave
consumables out on the shipping and receiving dock or in an unheated warehouse where they
can freeze or overheat.
To ensure that your printer runs smoothly with minimum down time, always have at least one
spare in stock for each consumable.
4.6 Using the Maintenance & Service Log
Every printer should have a maintenance & service log. The log should be set up when your
printer is installed. Table 4-1 shows a sample log page. If you need to start or add pages to a
maintenance & service log, you can copy Table 4-1.
Each time that you replace a consumable, record in the maintenance & service log:
•
Date
•
Total number of pages that the printer has printed
•
Name of consumable
Note: Print a configuration page with the machine life count to find the total number of
pages the printer has printed.
In addition, when you clean the printer on a monthly basis, or after printing 150,000 11-inch
pages (as explained in Chapter 5 Printer Cleaning), record in the log the date and the total
number of pages that the printer has printed.
When your printer is serviced, the service technician will also record the service work in the log.
