Hi group!

Quick question:
I run a small business, and I probably run 30K pages thru my business in
about a 2 month period, then the other 10 month's, run my normal stuff,
invoices, statements, general stuff, etc... around 5000 pages of odd.

I just upgraded to a HP 4700dn which has a monthly duty cycle of 100,000
pages a month. My question is, Is there anything bad that can happen with
my printer since I don't come close to the duty cycle?? Such as toners
expiring and drying up or something? I know this printer is way overkill,
but I couldn't beat the price! $800.00 and Brand New. << Old stock

I just want to make sure I know, if anything, what to avoid or look for so
as to take as best care of it as possible.

TIA,

Doug

Toner is already dry. It's possible that the cartridges are chipped
with an expiration date, but it wouldn't really be for the benefit of
the user.

Laser printers wear out from use rather than unuse.

Doug - I've never come up to the duty cycles of any of my (5) HP laser
printers and they've just kept chugging along!

Warren and Burt, thanks for the reply. I know it was probably a stupid
question, and that's what I was telling myself as I typing it. But as they
say, "The only bad question, is the one not asked".

Thanks,

Doug

Many times it is the answer that is stupid and not the question.
