A.3 Life of Consumables and Regular Replacement Parts 275A.3 Life of Consumables and RegularReplacement PartsLife of ConsumablesImportant• TonerReference values are measured based on ISO/IEC19798. Actual replacement cycles depend on printingconditions, output contents, paper size and type, and environment.• DrumThe number of printed pages is a reference value based on A4-size one-sided printing of an averageof three continuous sheets per print job. The actual number of printable pages depends on theconditions defined above, in addition to the number of continuous prints, paper size, paper type, paperfeed direction, paper tray and output tray settings, monochrome/color auto selection* , other modeselections, the initialization operation performed when the printer power is turned on or off, adjustmentsto maintain print quality, and other operating environment conditions. Certain conditions may result inactual values that are half those shown in the table. The values presented here are for reference only.* When [Color] is selected on the printer, certain data may use the color drum even when printing amonochrome page.• Waste toner bottleThe number of printable pages is based on continuous printing of A4 -size, portrait orientation, one-sided prints, with an image density of 5% for each color, and a color-to-monochrome ratio of 6:4. Actualreplacement cycles depend on printing conditions, output contents, paper size and type, andenvironment.• Fuser kitThe replacement cycles are targets based on continuous, one-sided printing on A4-size plain paper.The actual number of printable pages can vary greatly from these values due to paper size and type,printing environment and other printing conditions, such as the frequency of power-ups. This is becausethe indicated number of pages are calculated based on estimations of factors that influence actualreplacement part life.Though the deciding factor for fuser unit life, for example, is power on time, this is converted andindicated as number of print pages.Regular Replacement PartsConsumables Page YieldToner cartridge (black) Approx. 15,000 pagesToner cartridge(cyan/magenta/yellow)Approx. 12,000 pagesDrum cartridge Approx. 40,000 pagesWaste toner bottle Approx. 25,000 pagesFuser kit (Fuser unit, Transfer belt cleaner) Approx. 100,000 pagesPart Name Replacement LifeMaintenance kit (200K) Approx. 200,000 pagesMaintenance kit (480K) Approx. 480,000 pages
