3 Consumables

When to replace components

When the front panel prompts you to replace a component, make sure that you have replacements on hand. The printer may continue to print until the component is depleted; the printer stops until you replace the toner, Imaging Unit, and Fuser Roll; the Fuser allows printing to continue.

N O T E

Average life is based on an average of 5% coverage of the printable area for any one color using laser paper. The frequency of replacement varies, depending on the complexity of the prints, the percentage of coverage, and the type of media.

Transparencies, glossy coated paper, and other specialty media results in shortened consumable life.
