1. This one is not tricky at all. The monthy duty cycle of 35000 pages tells you roughly how much this printer can produce when used constantly in a normal environment. The recommended print volume gives you an idea of what level of usage this printer will make you happy with. In other words, the 2600 pushed to nearly the max can do 35,000 pages a month. However, if you print 10,000 copies a month, you're not going to be satisfied, since the recommendation is that you purchase this printer for usage in the 300-1500 page normal use area.
