Data Sheet
Additional Information
  1. Exact speed varies depending on document complexity, system configuration, software application, driver and printer state.
  2. Recommended Monthly Page Volume is a range of pages that helps customers evaluate InfoPrint’s product offerings based on the average number of pages customers plan to print on the device each month. InfoPrint recommends that the number of pages per month be within the stated range for optimum device performance, based on factors including: supplies replacement intervals, paper loading intervals, speed, and typical customer usage.
  3. See user documentation for specific media types.
  4. These numbers reflect an approximate average yield that has been established for each supply item indicated based on 5 percent coverage. Photoconductor yield is based on approximately six pages per job. These yields are not a guarantee of minimum life and are not covered under warranty, but are provided to assist in supplies planning. Actual usage should be used to establish the life of the supply product in each end user’s specific application. Many factors, such as print coverage per page, paper type and size, model type and environmental conditions can affect supply life. Declared value in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752 (mono) or ISO/IEC 19798 (color).
