Changing the Image Transfer Belt Unit.

⋅The Image Transfer Belt Unit provides A4/letter-size prints of up to about 150,000 images. One image is equal to one cycle of Image Transfer Belt Unit operation. The Image Transfer Belt Unit operates once (one image) to provide one monochrome print.

In comparison, the Image Transfer Belt Unit operates four times (four images) to provide one color print.

⋅When 150,000 images are calculated in terms of color prints, about 37,500 sheets can be printed. (This value will vary according to the color-to-monochrome print ratio, image conditions, etc.)

⋅Put the old Image Transfer Belt Unit in a polyethylene bag or the like and dispose of it according to your local requirements or return it to your sales representative.
