Chapter 8: Maintaining Your Printer

Introduction

This Chapter explains the basic maintenance and
cleaning procedures you must follow to
maintain high print quality and efficient
operation of your NEC SuperScript 870 printer.
Information on spare parts ordering and NEC
service agreements is found in Chapter 10,
"Getting Service and Support."

The Imaging Modules

The SuperScript 870 Imaging modules consist of
two parts: the Toner module and the
Photoconductor module. The Imaging modules
ship already installed inside your new
SuperScript 870 printer. The Toner module lasts
for approximately 3,000 pages at 5% toner
coverage (average business letter). The
Photoconductor module lasts for approximately
20,000 pages.
Both modules are replaceable and available
through your dealer or by calling NEC at 1-800-
632-2326. There is also a high capacity Toner
module available that will print approximately
6,000 pages at 5% toner coverage.
