*1These figures are based on an average of 5% coverage of the printable area
and standard density for any one color (refer to Example A below left:
Monochrome 5% coverage).
In case of Monochrome printing, 1 color (Black only) is used.
In case of full color printing, 4 colors (Cyan, Magenta, Y ello w and Black) are used.
Therefore the life of Color imaging unit is 60,000 pages at Monochrome printing
(Black only), 15,000 pages at full color printing (4 color mode) at 5% coverage per
color.
NOTE:
•Each file’s coverage is measured by KX-PS8100 pixel counter on letter
size. The coverage will differ with printers.
