Replacing the photoconductor
You can determine approximately how full the photoconductor is by printing the printer settings configuration sheet.
This helps you decide when you might need to order replacement supplies.
To ensure print quality and to avoid damage to the printer, the printer stops operating after the photoconductor has
reached a maximum of 60,000 pages. The printer automatically notifies you before the photoconductor reaches this
point. Maintaining the printer206
