Consumable Life Expectancies8

Consumable Life Expectancies

What is the life expectancy of consumables?

Attention

Consumable life is expressed in simplex letter/A4 pages @ normal 5%

coverage in continuous printing. A duplex page is equivalent to two

simplex pages.

The stated life expectancy of each consumable is based on printing

under specific operating conditions, such as ratio of color to

monochrome, and media type and size. 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.

What is a consumable?

For the magicolor 6110, consumables include the cleaning roller, fuser oil

bottle, OPC belt cartridge, toner cartridge, and the waste toner bottle.

What is a plane?

A plane is a single pass of the OPC belt (one toner color). For example, a

black-only, single-sided (simplex) print job makes one pass (plane).

A single-sided color page (also called a face) consists of up to four passes

of the OPC belt, since most color print jobs use all four toner colors. An

image is four planes. A two-sided (duplex) color page (also called a sheet)

may consist of up to eight passes of the OPC belt if all toners are used.

The number of sheets/faces printed shown on the startup page may differ

from the sheets printed and faces printed statistics in CrownView and on the

consumables statistics page (Operator Control/Consumables/Print Statistics).

The numbers on the startup page refer to number of sheets/faces printed

during the lifetime of the printer. The numbers in CrownView and on the

consumables statistics page refer to the number of sheets/faces printed to

date during the current consumables tracking period (Administration/

Consumables/Start Period menu).

Where can I get more information?

For further information about the consumables statistics page and replace-

ment menus, refer to the

CrownBook
