<Life of toner cartridge>
The life of the toner cartridge varies according to the average number of print pages per job.
(See the table below.) The number of printable pages is larger when making continuous prints
in one job because deterioration of the develop roller is low.
Relationship between average print page per 1 job and life of toner cartridges
The develop roller also rotates for the warm-up operation, color registration adjustment
operation, and developing bias adjustment operation when the power is turned ON and when
the cover is opened or closed. Therefore, when these operations are frequently performed,
the life of toner cartridges is shortened. (The table below shows the worst case in which the
warm-up operation, color registration adjustment, and developing bias adjustment are
performed when the power is turned ON.)
