APPENDIX 4. HOW TO KNOW DRUM UNIT LIFE & PAGE COUNTER

If you want to know the drum unit life or the number of printed pages, you should print out the Print Configuration page for the HL-1240/1250/1270N printer, or print out the Test Print page for the HL-1030.

NOTE:

The page counter, drum counter and drum unit life bar are NOT printed on the Print Configuration page for some models. For those models, use the Printer Information tool which indicates the page counter, etc. on the PC screen, referring to Section 3 ‘Printer Information’ in APPENDIX 5.

1.Print Configuration (for HL-1240/1250/1270N only)

(1)Turn on the power switch of the printer while pressing the printer control panel button.

(2)Release the panel button when the Drum LED comes on.

(3)Press the panel button again and release it when the Ready LED comes on.

(4)Print the Print Configuration page.

The page counter and drum counter are printed at the right upper in Print Configuration. (Refer to the figure below.) Note that the drum counter is an actual page counter after a new drum unit is replaced, and may be different from the drum unit life shown in the drum life bar. For details, see Section 2 ‘How to Read the Drum Unit Life’.
