RELIABILITY MODEL BASED COPY COUNT CORRECTION DURING SYSTEM RECOVERY FOR PREDICTIVE DIAGNOSTICS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for assessing an end of the life for high frequency service items in a document processing system.

SOLUTION: The method comprises the steps of: accepting a system cycle as a nominal count; applying at least one weighting factor to the nominal count to yield at least one weighted count; and monitoring the system for a recovery condition; providing a recovery count in the event of the recovery condition; and summing the one or more weighted counts and the recovery count into a supplemental diagnostic counter.
