4. Life end conditions
A. Toner cartridge
After detecting near end, when the toner density is lowered to the
specified level or lower and the toner sensor detects toner LOW
continuously for a certain time, it is judged as toner end.
B. Developer cartridge/Drum cartridge
• When the developer (developer cartridge)/drum counter exceeds
the specified number of sheets.
• When the rpm of the developer cartridge/drum cartridge exceeds
the specified number.
In an actual use, in the correction operation and the warm-up oper-
ation as well as the output operation, the developer cartridge and
the drum rotate idly.
If the correction operation and the warm-up operation are made fre-
quently, idle rotations of the developer cartridge and the drum are
increased accordingly.
Because of these factors, the consumption degree of the developer
cartridge and the drum cartridge cannot be determined only with
the print quantity. When, therefore, the number of rotations of the
cartridge exceeds the specified level, it is judged as life end.
As the reference for the drum/developer (developer cartridge) life.
the accumulated number of rotations can be displayed with SIM 22-
1. The value displayed with SIM 22-1 indicates the reached level in
percent (%) when the developer (developer cartridge)/drum life is
100%.
Example) Life 550K, used number of rotations 385K
385/550 x 100 = 70 (%)
5. Life end display
A. Drum cartridge
*1: Selection of Display/Not Display can be made with Sim26-69. (Default: Not Display)
• When the drum cartridge is replaced with a new one, the print counter, the accumulated traveling distance counter, the accumulated rotation
number counter, and the usage day counter are automatically cleared. If SIM26-55 setting is set to ENABLE in that case, the guidance for
execution of the automatic adjustment of the engine is displayed.
• If SIM26-55 setting is set to DISABLE, SIM46-74 must be used to execute the automatic adjustment of the engine.
• If the above guidance does not disappear when the drum cartridge is replaced, SIM24-7 must be executed to clear the print counter, the
accumulated traveling distance counter, the accumulated rotation number counter, and the usage day counter, and the engine automatic
adjustment must be executed.
• The above display disappears when the counters are cleared.

B. Developer cartridge
*1: Selection of Display/Not Display can be made with Sim26-69. (Default: Not Display)
• When the developer cartridge is replaced with a new one, the print counter, the accumulated traveling distance counter, the accumulated
rotation number counter, and the usage day counter are automatically cleared, and the initial setting of the toner density is automatically exe-
cuted.
• When SIM26-55 setting is set to ENABLE, the initial setting of the toner density is executed and the guidance for execution of the automatic
adjustment of the engine is displayed.
• When SIM26-55 setting is set to DISABLE, SIM46-74 must be used to execute the automatic adjustment of the engine after completion of
the initial setting of the toner density.
• If the above guidance does not disappear when the developer cartridge is replaced, the initial setting of the toner density must be executed
with the simulation, and the engine automatic adjustment must be executed.
• When the initial setting of the toner density is executed, the counters are cleared and the above display disappears.
