The end state is determined when the count exceeds the threshold setting of SP7-940-002, SP7-941-002 set for either paper sheet count or distance count (distance is calculated from the operation time of the drum motor (M3)).

The near-end threshold count setting is determined for either the paper or distance count as described below.

  • Near-end threshold (sheet count):
    End threshold (sheet count) - Number of days to near-end*1 x APV
    Calculated with average print volume (APV), the average number of sheets printed every day.

  • Near-end threshold (distance):
    End threshold (distance count [mm]) - Number of days to near-end*1 x APV
    Calculated with the average print volume (APV), the equivalent distance traveled for average print volume, the average number of sheets printed every day.

*1: Number of days to near-end SP settings
