Describe the duty cycle of a printer and how it relates to operating cost.

What will be an ideal response?


The duty cycle of a printer is specified in pages per month and indicates how many pages you can expect your printer to produce without breaking down. A personal laser printer has a duty cycle of about 2,500 pages per month-that means about 100 pages a day.

On average, you can expect to pay about three cents per page for black-and-white laser printing. This per-page cost includes periodically replacing the toner cartridge and drum. A toner cartridge and a drum unit each cost about $70, though prices vary by manufacturer and model.
