[comp.laser-printers] Ion Printer - Cartridges

wdw@aucs.UUCP (Bill Wilder) (03/15/88)

We have a C. Itoh CIE 3000 Megapro Ion deposition printer at our
site. Every 100,000 pages an ION cartridge needs replacing. This
cartridge is about one foot long, 3 inches wide and half an inch thick.
It is NOT a toner cartridge (we replace those about every 7500 pages).
Can someone please explain the function of this cartridge and further
explain why it is a consumable item?

Thanks very much.
