Maintenance kits are to be replaced after a certain page cycle, most are around 100,000. That doesn't mean that they have to, but the manufacturer recommends it. I typically go until the printer shows troubles with bad product, or difficulty picking up pages, or pieces of the fuser drum coming off . As long as you get it before it causes serious problems with the printer, such as grinding gears or serious mechanical issues, you should be alright. I’ve made it well over 200,000 between kits on a 5si…

You should inspect the printer every time there is an issue with it, and if you rarely have to look at it, at least twice a year clean it up inside, and do your inspections them...and keep track of the page count between major maintenance, and check that periodically.

Lastly, it's important to know when to draw the line. If you don't know what you are doing, it is cheaper to call someone in to do a repair then mess things up, and have to replace more parts...
