PM Intervals
There are no PM parts.
There are three "yield parts", but given the ACV
(Average Copy Volume) for this machine, these
"yield parts" are expected to outlast the life of
the machine.
Yield Parts
Paper Feed Roller (120 K)
Transfer Roller (120 K)
Fusing Unit (120 K)
The counters for each yield part can be
monitored using either of the following methods:
Web Image Monitor
Configuration Page in the “List/Test Print” menu

Note to Service Personnel
Yield parts are rated to last for 120 K, which
should be longer than the machine's rated
lifespan of five years.
For customers who are very heavy users, it may
be necessary to change yield parts during the life
of the machine.
After installing new yield parts, the counters must
be reset.
The counter reset procedure is not a user
function and must be done by a trained
technician.
See the replacement procedures in the FSM
(Field Service Manual) for the reset procedures
for each yield part.
