After making 17,000 copies, the indicator will be “ON”, and after
1,000 copier more are made, the indicator starts blinking and
machine will hard-stop (after current job) until a new cartridge is
installed. End life of photoreceptor cartridge displays 3-digits x 2-
line (total 6-digits) by pressing CLEAR key for five seconds in user
simulation.

When toner density is lower than a specified level, the TONER
DEVELOPER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT indicator lights up to
warn the user. If the Toner Developer Cartridge is not replaced in
that time, the Ready Lamp changes to blinking and then start to
supply the toner after around 10 copies. (Cartridge replacement
lamp continues to light.) If toner density is not back to specific level
after two minutes, the READY indicator goes out and Toner Devel-
oper indicator starts blinking, and the copier stops.
