Replacing Consumables

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 (@ 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 further information about the
consumables statistics page and replacement menus, refer to the CrownBook.
Failure to follow instructions as outlined in the User’s Guide could result in voiding
your warranty.
The following messages indicate that a consumable needs to be replaced:
