Work flow of parts replacement
The timing for the parts replacement usually depends on the number of output pages ever made after
they were replaced before. However, its drive counts time is also to be considered when replacing the
parts.
Even if the number of output pages has reached the level of replacement, for instance, the part may still
be usable with its drive counts not reaching the specified drive counts. On the other hand, the part may
need replacement even if the number of output pages has not reached the level of replacement with its
driving time exceeding the specified drive counts. The life span of some parts such as feed roller is
heavily dependent on the number of output pages rather than the drive counts.
The following work flow diagram shows how to judge the timing of replacement with the number of out-
put pages and the drive counts.
Example 1:
When the number of output pages has reached the specified level
Fig. 4-5
Example 2:
When the image failure occurred before the number of output pages has reached the specified
level

Replace the part.
Replace the part.
Check the drive counts at PM
support mode.
Does it exceed the specified
drive counts?
Replace the part after the drive
counts has reached the specified
count.
Yes
No
The part is still usable.
Replace the part.
Yes
No
Check the drive counts of all parts at PM support mode.
Does it exceed the specified drive count?
Check the part and equipment according to the “TROUBLESHOOTING”.
