Consumables • The actual number of printable pages varies depending on the image volume and density, number of pages to be printed at a time, paper type and paper size used, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. • If Maintenance Kit is not changed when necessary, the quality of printing is not guaranteed. We recommend keeping a stock of Maintenance Kit or purchasing one soon.
