Consumable Life Expectancies

What is a consumable?

A consumable is an item that needs to be replaced at regular intervals. For the PagePro 9100, consumables include:

Service replaceable

 Fuser

User replaceable

 Toner cartridge and exhaust filter  Pickup rollers  Transfer roller

Although the printer was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life.

What is a face?

A face is a single pass of media past the toner cartridge. A two-sided (duplex) page (also called a sheet) consists of two passes of the toner cartridge.

Introduction12

 The number of sheets printed statistics shown on the startup page

may differ from the sheets printed and faces printed statistics in CrownView (a printer-based application for accessing printer configu rations, status, and consumables usage information) and on the consumables statistics page (Operator Control/Consumables/Print Statistics).

The numbers on the startup page refer to number of sheets/faces printed during the lifetime of the printer. The numbers in CrownView and on the consumables statistics page refer to the number of sheets/ faces printed to date during the current consumables tracking period (Administration/Consumables/Start Period menu).

For further information about CrownView, refer to the Crown Books in PDF on the Documentation CD-ROM.

What is the life expectancy of consumables?

Attention

Consumable life is expressed in simplex letter/A4 pages @ normal 5% coverage in continuous printing. A duplex page is equivalent to two simplex pages.

The stated life expectancy of each consumable is in page coverage (usually 5% coverage of letter/A4-size media), and continuous printing—for example, an average four-page run length (optimal consumable life), or intermittent printing—for example, one-page jobs.

The actual life expectancy will vary based on printing under specific operating conditions and other printing variables, such as ambient temperature, humidity, media type, page size, and content of material printed—for example, text or graphics.

Attention

Failure to follow instructions as outlined in this manual could void your warranty. Use of consumables not manufactured by KONICA MINOLTA or use of non-supported print media may cause damage to your printer and void your warranty. If printer failure or damage is found to be directly attributable to the use of non-KONICA MINOLTA consumables, KONICA MINOLTA will not repair the printer free of charge. In this case, standard time and material charges will be applied to service your printer for that particular failure or damage.

How do I order consumables?

Choosing the right consumables for your printer not only increases its reliability and performance, but also minimizes the risk of damage. For example, only KONICA MINOLTA toner cartridges are designed to meet the exact specifications of your printer, giving maximum performance, efficiency, and long life.

Toner cartridges and other consumables for your printer are available from your local vendor or visit

printer.konicaminolta.com.

Where can I get more information?

To access consumables usage information, use the Operator Control/ Consumables/Print Statistics menu on the control panel, or use the CrownView printer web page. For information about the consumables statistics page and replacement menus, refer to the Crown Books in PDF on the Documentation CD-ROM.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

Characters and images are created in your laser printer through a process that applies toner to the photosensitive OPC (O Your printer uses one toner cartridge. Handle the toner cartridge carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer or on yourself.

When the toner cartridge is worn out, the message TONER EMPTY appears. The printer will not print until the toner cartridge is replaced. After the toner cartridge is replaced, the printer automatically resets the consumables count.

ptical Photo Conductor) inside your toner cartridge.

Attention

The OPC inside the toner cartridge is extremely sensitive to bright light, direct sunlight, and touch. Always leave the toner cartridge in its protective package until you’re ready to install it. Any exposure to light should be avoided and limited to less than two minutes, or permanent damage could result. If you suspect the OPC is damaged due to exposure to light, put the toner cartridge in a dark place to recover. Recovery may take up to two hours. Recovery time is dependent on the amount of exposure sustained, and recovery is not guaranteed.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

What is the toner cartridge life expectancy?

Toner cartridge life is directly related to the number of rotations of the OPC. Longest unit life is achieved with continuous printing, which requires a cleaning rotation after every fourth page of an average size job. Intermittent printing with small job sizes requires a cleaning rotation after each one-page simplex job, and therefore impacts OPC life.

A toner cartridge contains enough toner to print letter/A4-size pages at the percent coverage stated (other factors will also affect toner life):

Coverage Starter

Cartridge

5% 6,000 15,000 12,000

10% 3,000 7,500 6,000

15% 2,000 5,000 4,000

20% 1,500 3,750 3,000

When a toner cartridge runs low, TONER LOW displays in the message window and there is approximately 5% toner remaining. Printing continues even though the warning appears. However, the image gradually fades, so replace the toner cartridge as soon as possible.

Approximately 750 pages after the printer displays TONER LOW in the message window, the printer displays TONER EMPTY, and the printer stops.

Replacement Cartridge (Continuous Printing)

Replacement Cartridge (Intermittent Printing)

How should I handle the toner cartridge?

Keep the toner cartridge

 Away from open flames.  In its packaging until you’re ready to install it.  In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat).

The maximum storage temperature is 95° F (35° C) and the maximum storage humidity is 80% without condensation. If the toner cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may occur, degrading print quality. Allow the toner to adapt to the environment for about one hour before use.

 Level during storage.

Do not store cartridges on their ends or turn them upside down; the toner inside the cartridges may become caked or unequally distributed.

 Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols.

Replacing Rollers

The pickup rollers feed media from the media trays into the printer. When the pickup rollers deteriorate, media may not feed correctly, resulting in media jams. Replace the pickup roller in the multipurpose tray each time you have the fuser replaced, and more frequently if the media is not being picked properly.

The upper and optional media trays’ media pickup roller needs periodic cleaning but not replacement.

There are two different roller kits—one for the pickup rollers in the multipurpose tray, and one for the media trays’ paper separation roller.
