Replacing the drum unit C

Drum End Soon
The machine uses a drum unit to create print
images on paper. If the LCD shows
Drum End Soon, the drum unit is near the
end of its life and it is time to buy a new one.
Even if the LCD shows Drum End Soon,
you may be able to continue printing without
having to replace the drum unit for a while.
However, if there is a noticeable deterioration
in the output print quality (even before
Drum End Soon appears), then the drum
unit should be replaced. You should clean the
machine when you replace the drum unit.
(See Cleaning the laser scanner windows
on page 79.)
CAUTION
While removing the drum unit, handle it
carefully because it may contain toner. If
toner scatters on your hands or clothes,
wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.
Note
The drum unit is a consumable item, and
it is necessary to replace it periodically.
There are many factors that determine the
actual drum life, such as temperature,
humidity, type of paper and how much
toner you use for the number of pages per
print job. The estimated drum life is
approximately 17,000 pages. The actual
number of pages your drum will print may
be significantly less than these estimates.
Because we have no control over the
many factors that determine the actual
drum life, we cannot guarantee a
minimum number of pages that will be
printed by your drum.

Wait to unpack a new drum unit until

drum unit into the plastic bag.
HOT SURFACE
