Maintenance Schedule
Attention
Consumable life is expressed in simplex letter/A4 pages at
normal 5% coverage in continuous printing. A duplex page is
equivalent to two simplex pages. The stated life expectancy of
each consumable is based on printing under specific operating
conditions, such as ratio of color to monochrome, and media
type and size. The actual life expectancy will vary (or be
reduced) depending on these and other printing variables,
including continuous (optimal consumable life) or intermittent
(for example, one-page jobs) printing, ambient temperature,
and humidity.
