becomes less than 10%, the printer enters toner recovery mode to supply toner to the photoconductor cartridge until the toner ratio again reaches 14%. While the average yield for the photoconductor cartridge is 90,000 pages, the actual yield depends on factors such as the size paper you use, whether or not you are printing duplex jobs, whether you are printing continuous or single sheets, and so on. The paper size affects the printer's page count calculations. The printer counts an A4 or letter size sheet as one page; however, it counts a B4 or legal size sheet as 1.2 pages, and an A3 or 11x17 size sheet as 2 pages. Therefore, if you print all your jobs on A3 paper, the photoconductor life may appear to be half the 90,000-page average, which is based on A4 paper. After Replace PC Kit appears on the display, you can press Go to continue printing for another 15,000 pages. However, we recommend that you go ahead and replace the items in the photoconductor kit. If you do not, the printer stops printing when Replace PC Kit To Continue appears on the display. You then have to replace the photoconductor cartridge before you can continue to use the printer. WARNING: After you install a photoconductor cartridge in the printer, do not remove the cartridge and reinstall it in any other printer. Internal printer settings that vary from printer to printer could cause the photoconductor to overdevelop or underdevelop images, resulting in poor print quality or possibly printer damage. See "Recycling used supplies" on page 147 for information on recycling the old photoconductor cartridge. Printer consumables 140
