Actually, there isn't one! But, you can get rid of the message. Press clear modes, 1,0,7, and then press and hold clear stop. Choose copy sp. Scroll to 5, (mode) then scroll to PCU alarm setting. There are 2 options. Display will shut the message off. If it is a 1, make it 0, or vice versa. Interval, will set the count. You can make it an 80, and that will give you 20000 more prints. Personally, I would change the PCU really soon, other wise you will pay for it in toner.

That model, as most Ricohs, uses the ID sensor to determine when and how much toner to add. I would check to make sure it's clean, no toner or paper dust. If that's not it you might need to replace it.The ID sensor is located in the PCU, facing the drum.Good luck. If this helps, please remember to rate this. Thanks

They are rated at 60,000 copies....it depends on where the end counter is set at before it fails, Approximately 500 to 1000 maximum copies before complete failure.

Photo conductor unit is the drum unit inside the copier . It contains developer and toner which are the ink as some people refer to it. It is a consumable part and needs to be replaced every 60k copies but can and dies last longer. You can ignore it and once copy quality is ok I wouldnt bother changing it but you will eventually need to replace it.
