Ricoh MP C305 Consumable life

[krazeekidz3]

Hi everyone! I'm just wondering if you can tell me how to check the life limit on a Ricoh Aficio MP C305 spf. I service mostly, Konica Minolta and my company received one of these as a trade in. My service manager said I could have it but I didn't want to waste my time hauling it home if the consumables are near their life limit and it will be shutting down soon. (Even though it is an adorable little machine!) Even on Ebay, these items are EXPENSIVE!! I know that the message can be turned off in many of the Konica Minolta models and they will never shut down or bother you with the message on the control panel. Does this cute little machine have the capability of turning off the life message? And how can I tell how much life is left? I tried printing it from user mode but it only showed the toner levels.
Thanks for your time!!

K drum rated at 60K, color drums rated at 24K.

These are recommended counts and are based on an average of 2 pages per job. At 1 P/J the numbers reduce to 40K and 15K. Again, these are recommended counts and intended to maintain optimum print quality. Unless you are going to be very picky as to print quality, you can push these numbers to as much as double before any major problems show up.

Check all SP 5067-001 through 5067-008. If set to 1 for user replace, change to 0. Once SP 5067 is all set to 0, you can use SP 5062 and SP 5066 to enable or disable PM display messages.
