replacing printer consumables
note
Consumables design, specification, and
selection are critical and integral to the development of any computer printer
imaging system.
The yield of the supplies is based on a 5% page coverage using 20 lb bond paper. In a typical business letter, for example, text covers approximately 5% of the page. However, applications that print more densely, such as graphics and bar codes, will use the consumables at a faster rate.
In addition, the type of media used will determine the yield of the consumables. Optimum print quality and consumable life is obtained by using bond media rated between 18 and 20 pounds. Label stock and heavier media can also be used, but the print quality and consumable life, as well as the life of the fuser, may be reduced. Refer to the ªMedia Requirementsºon page 11.
When a consumable needs to be replaced, an appropriate message will be displayed on the LCD. Refer to ªStatus and Error Messagesº on page 34 for a description of possible messages.
