Chapter 6: Replacing supplies

When do I

replace them?

Your printer displays

Supplies

on the second line of the

operator panel display when there are any supplies that
need attention. Press

Menu>

or

<Menu

to open the Supplies

Menu and quickly determine whether you need to add
toner, replace a photoconductor, or load paper.

The average yield of a supply is the average number of
pages you can print before you need to replace the supply.
The actual yield varies, depending on factors such as the
printer settings you choose, the toner coverage on each
printed page, and the size paper you use.

The paper size affects the printer’s page count calcula-
tions. The printer counts an A4 or letter size sheet as one
page; however, it counts a B4 or legal size sheet as
1.2 pages, and an A3 or 11x17 size sheet as 2 pages. There-
fore, if you print all your jobs on A3 paper, the yield for a
particular supply may appear to be half the yield claimed
for that supply.

The following sections provide details about when you
need to replace each supply.
