Consumable Life Expectancies 149

Consumable Life Expectancies
The stated life expectancy of each consumable is based on printing under
specific operating conditions, such as media type, page size, content of
material printed, and page coverage (usually 5% coverage of letter/A4-size
media). 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.
Use of consumables not manufactured by MINOLTA-QMS or use of
nonsupported print media may cause damage to your printer and will void
your warranty. If MINOLTA-QMS printer failure or damage is found to be
directly attributable to the use of non-MINOLTA-QMS consumables and/or
accessories, MINOLTA-QMS will not repair the printer free of charge. In this
case, standard time and material charge s will be applied to service your
printer for that particular failure or damage.
