Exposing the photoconductor unit
to light for too long can reduce its
performance. Replace the unit as
quickly as possible.
Note
Before removing the photoconduc-
tor unit from the printer, spread
paper or some other material
around the area you are working
to keep toner from making floor
dirty.
The “Change PCU” message is
based on a printed page counter
kept internally by the printer. It is
meant as a general guide to photo-
conductor unit life only. Actual
photoconductor unit life depends
on the printing conditions.

tective sheet from the new photo-
conductor unit.

ton and open the front cover.
Do not incinerate the photo-
conductor unit. Toner dust

priate collection sites.
If you dispose the used photo-
conductor unit yourself, dis-
pose of it according to your
local regulations.

tions other than those specified

ry.
