FC-210/310 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 3- 14 February 2002 © TOSHIBA TEC
Notes:
1. Application of the patting powder is for reducing the friction between the drum and the cleaning blade. If the
application of patting powder is neglected, the drum and the cleaning blade may be damaged.
2. When some fibers adhere to the cleaning blade edge, they may reduce the cleaning efficiency and, in addition,
may damage the blade and the drum. Be sure to remove any fibers found adhering to the blade.
(3) Handling at installing of the copier and replacing of the drum
At installing the copier and replacing the drum, do not leave the drum in a brightly lit place for a long time.
Otherwise, the drum will be fatigued, producing some background fogging on the image after being installed
in the copier. However, this effect will decrease as time elapses.
(4) Cleaning of the drum
At preventive maintenance, wipe softly the entire surface of the drum using the designated cleaning
cotton (dry soft pad). Use sufficiently thick cleaning cotton so as not to touch the drum surface inad-
vertently with your fingertips or nails. Also, remove your rings and wristwatch before starting cleaning
work to prevent accidental damage to the drum.
Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol or silicone oil as they will have an adverse effect on the drum.
Never use selenium refresher, either.
(5) Scratches on photoconductive drum surface
If the surface is scratched to such a degree that the aluminum base is exposed, black spots or streaks will
be produced on images and can also damage the cleaning blade. So, replace the drum with a new one.
(6) Recovery of used photoconductive drums
Regarding the recovery and disposal of used drums, you should follow your relevant local regulations
and rules.
