Maintaining the printer
Periodically, certain tasks are required to maintain optimum pe rformance of your printer.
Warning—Potential Damage: Failure to maintain optimum printer performance, or to replace parts and supplies,
may cause damage to your printer.

Estimated number of remaining pages

The estimated number of remaining pages is based on the recen t printing history of the printer. Its accuracy may
vary significantly and is dependent on many factors, such as actual document content, print quality settings, and
other printer settings.
The accuracy of the estimated number of remaining pages may de crease when the actual printing consumption is
different from the historical printing consumption. Consider the variable le vel of accuracy before purchasing or re placing
supplies based on the estimate. Until an adequate print hist ory is obtained on the printer, initial estimates assume
future supplies consumption based on the International Org anization for Standardization* test methods and page
content.
* Average continuous black declared cartridge yield in accordance with IS O/IEC 19752.
