About sims, 22-25

[samyeh]

I would like to kindly ask all the seniors about the meaning of SIMS 22-25 values. Could anyone please provide some insights?

Model ?

Strange, just look at Handy Guide it's just says Toner usage estimator data display [Hidden] , but nothing in SM (assuming hidden is the key word in here )

Looks like a BP series machine. My guess would be coverage average, but not sure.

Thank you, everyone. BP series. Yes, it shows the average toner coverage, but I'm not sure what "last reset" means. Could someone clarify?

You can reset them and the machine begins to calculate averages again. This would be good for moving a copier to a new location or selling the copier as used to a new customer so you can track their page coverage.

I have experimented with printing test documents with known page coverages and found that these 22-25 avergaes may not be exactly accurate. I do think they are good enough to use for showing a customer with high page coverage why you may need to increase their cpp becasue of high page coverages.

I do not have this sim in my EU models...

Got it, thanks for clarifying!

It's [Hidden].

MXM465 has that sim as well and it's hidden. It tells you your average coverage. I had a MXM465 that was crushing the web in 100k pages. Sharp told me to check this SIM and it was over 25%. He said there ya go. Its advancing the web due to the high coverage of the print jobs.

Who is printing high coverage on a monochrome machine? Seems pretty silly

11x17 double sided news in a minute you see at coffee shops.
Big thick black text.
It was actually causing issues for the developing unit. Toner was burning to the mag roller on the edges which would cause background eventually and you had to use sandpaper to get it off.
The 465 was shit compared to the 463.

The 463/503 series were tanks. Easy machines to work on, and minimal issues. Then the 565 series came along and crapped everywhere. Good luck with the m3070/71 series, it's basically the same thing. The BP monochromes are so far working well.

We didn't sell many 5070 bw machines but the ones we did seemed ok. The 26 bw never had a issue that I saw before I left. The guys tell me the BP bw they have in schools seem to be running really well.

We started putting our spare 465 fusers into the 365 machines. You just have to cut a loop back wire on the harness behind the connector on the fuser. Works alot better.

Would have loved to have done that, those 365 fusers were hot garbage. One locked up and cracked the frame around the fuser drive... a week later they came out with a metal piece you put nearby to prevent that cracking. Felt bad for the tech who had to tear apart the whole frame to replace the plastic shell. Horrible design, horrible outcome.
