The Unit Life Manual

NOTES The life specifications values represent the number of copies made or figures equivalent to it when given conditions are met. They can be more or less depending on the copier operating conditions of each individual user. The initiation of a new copy cycle is inhibited upon 1K after a near life condition has been detected for all units (except the Toner Bottle and Waste Toner Bottle).
Life Spec. Value 40K B/C/D/E/F A waste toner full condition is detected when about 4.5K copies are made after a waste toner near-full condition has been detected. The life specifications value is based on A4C or Letter C. A near life condition is detected when a web empty condition is detected or a predetermined number of copies are made, whichever arrives earlier. B/E An approximate life value is 10K under the specified conditions. Copying Condition Code Description Near Life Value Life Value 10K 40K
