Read the specification again.  Thats 25,000 ROTATIONS.  Not 25,000 PAGES.
If you print long jobs then you can expect to get more pages out of an OPC
than if you print short one or two pager jobs.  I'm running the NCR 6436
here which is the same Ricoh 15 page per minute engine that the TI is running.
I'm getting typically 15,000 to 20,000 pages before the 'Change OPC' lite
comes on.  There is nothing that prevents you from printing past the 25K
page limit except for seeing some degraded print quality.   Most folks
won't notice.
