6.4 Checking and Clearing Counters

The printer keeps track of printer component usage by using maintenance
counters. When a part exceeds its wear limit, the printer may display a service
error code and stop working. See
Parts on page 143. After replacing the part requiring service, you need to reset
its maintenance counter. See Clearing Maintenance Counters
Some parts do not cause the printer to display an error code or stop working
when they wear out. However, you should always check the counters for these
parts when servicing the printer to make sure they haven't exceeded their
useful life. If the counter indicates that a part is about to wear out, you should
replace the part to avoid having to make additional service calls.
At a minimum, check the following important counters:
