Consumable Life Expectancies; Auto-Image Density Control (Aidc) - MINOLTA-QMS magicolor 2350 User Manual

Consumable Life Expectancies

The stated life expectancy of each consumable is based on printing with
specific media type, number of color planes, page size, and page coverage
(normal 5% coverage of letter-/A4-size media). The actual life expectancy will
vary depending on these and other printing variables, including continuous or
intermittent printing, ambient temperature, and humidity.
The following messages indicate that a consumable needs to be replaced.
