INDICATIONS
The LCD panel provides messages to the effect that
consumables/maintenance items are running low or nearing end
of life followed some time later by a message that replacement is
required. You should replace the item as soon as possible after
this message is displayed to avoid the possibility of print quality
being compromised.

rollers do not have any replacement warning messages.
Recommended replacement: after approximately 120,000 A4
sheets.
