Checking the Sheet Counter

The status on each consumable part can be viewed to determine when to replace the consumables.

When a consumable needs to be replaced soon, the background color of the counter for the consumable changes. The background color of counters change at the following times:

  • Brake roller/pick roller counters
    The background color of the counters turns light yellow when the sheet count reaches 95% of the value that is specified in [Life Counter Alarm Setting] of the Software Operation Panel. The background color of the counters turns yellow when the sheet count reaches 100%.
  • Remaining ink counter
    The background color of the counter turns yellow when the amount of remaining ink reaches below 33% (only displayed when the imprinter is installed).

For details about [Life Counter Alarm Setting] of the Software Operation Panel, refer to the Operator's Guide.

The following shows the suggested replacement cycles for consumables when using A4 (80g/m² (20 lb)) wood-free paper or wood-containing paper. Actual cycles vary depending on the type of documents scanned and how often the scanner is used and cleaned.
