APPENDIX  4. HOW TO KNOW DRUM UNIT LIFE & PAGE COUNTER

If you want to know the drum unit life or the number of printed pages, you should print out the
Print Configuration page for the HL-1240/1250/1270N printer, or print out the Test Print page
for the HL-1030.

NOTE:

The page counter, drum counter and drum unit life bar are NOT printed on the Print
Configuration page for some models.  For those models, use the Printer Information tool
which indicates the page counter, etc. on the PC screen, referring to

 Section 3 ‘Printer

Information’ in APPENDIX 5

Print Configuration (for HL-1240/1250/1270N only)

(2)  Release the panel button when the Drum LED comes on.

(3)  Press the panel button again and release it when the Ready LED comes on.
