Consumable Life Expectancies
Plain Paper
The stated life expectancy of each consumable is based on printing under
specific operating conditions such as media type, number of color planes,
page size, and page coverage (at 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. For current information about consumable life
expectancies, refer to www.minolta-qms.com/support, then click on "Answer
