142 Removal and replacement C7085-90921
Consumable assemblies
The user replaces consumable assemblies as part of periodic maintenance. Chapter 4 explains the
maintenance procedures.
Note The printer tracks the amount of use on some of its user-replaceable parts by keeping a page count.
Swapping consumable assemblies between printers might cause a misrepresentation of consumable
assembly life values and is not recommended.
