Consumables

Introduction2

Introduction

Consumable Life Expectancies

What is a consumable?

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

the magicolor 3100, consumables include:

„Fuser unit

„Imaging unit

„Media feed roller

„Toner cartridges

„Transfer unit

What is a plane?

A plane (also called a face) is a single pass of media past the imaging unit. A

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

imaging unit.

The number of sheets printed shown on the startup page may differ from the

sheets printed and faces printed statistics in CrownView and on the consum-

ables 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.

Consumable Life Expectancies 3

The numbers in CrownView (a printer-based application for accessing printer

configurations, status, and consumables usage information) 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).

What is the life expectancy of consumables?

Attention

The stated onsumable life expectancy is expressed in simplex letter/A4

pages @ normal 5% coverage in continuous printing—for example,

average four-page jobs (optimal consumable life). A duplex page is

equivalent to two simplex pages.

The actual life expectancy will vary (or be reduced) based on printing

under specific operating conditions and other printing variables, such

as intermittent printing—for example, one-page jobs, 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.
