Consumable Life Expectancies

What is a consumable?

A consumable is an item that needs to be replaced at regular intervals. For

the PagePro 9100, consumables include:

Service replaceable

„Fuser

User replaceable

„Toner cartridge and exhaust filter

„Pickup rollers

„Transfer roller

Although the printer was designed for printing on a wide range of media

types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except

plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as

envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may adversely affect print

quality or reduce engine life.

What is a face?

A face is a single pass of media past the toner cartridge. A two-sided

(duplex) page (also called a sheet) consists of two passes of the toner

cartridge.

The number of sheets printed statistics shown on the startup page

may differ from the sheets printed and faces printed statistics in

CrownView (a printer-based application for accessing printer

configurations, status, and consumables usage information) 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).

For further information about CrownView, refer to the

CrownBooks

PDF on the

Documentation

CD-ROM.

Consumable Life Expectancies4

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 in page coverage

(usually 5% coverage of letter/A4-size media), and continuous printing

—for example, an average four-page run length (optimal consumable

life), or intermittent printing—for example, one-page jobs.

The actual life expectancy will vary based on printing under specific

operating conditions and other printing variables, such as ambient

temperature, humidity, media type, page size, and content of material

printed—for example, text or graphics.

Attention

Failure to follow instructions as outlined in this manual could void your

warranty. Use of consumables not manufactured by MINOLTA-QMS or

use of non-supported print media may cause damage to your printer

and void your warranty. If MINOLTA-QMS printer failure or damage is

found to be directly attributable to the use of non-MINOLTA-QMS

consumables, MINOLTA-QMS will not repair the printer free of charge. In

this case, standard time and material charges will be applied to service

your printer for that particular failure or damage.
