Replacing the OPC Belt Cartridge
Caution
:
The OPC belt is extremely
sensitive to bright light and direct sunlight.
Always leave it in its protective bag until
you’re ready to install it. Any exposure to
light should be limited to less than two
minutes, or permanent damage could
result. If you suspect a belt is damaged due to exposure to light, put the belt in a dark
place to recover. Depending on the amount of exposure, recovery may take up to two
hours. Recovery time is dependent on the amount of exposure sustained, and
recovery is not guaranteed.
Also, handle the cartridge carefully. The belt is also extremely sensitive to hand oils
and scratches, both of which reduce print quality.
Caution:
If you have a duplex unit installed, make sure you have opened the duplex
unit top cover before completing the following step. Forced opening of the printer’s top
cover first may damage the unit.
1 Open the printer’s top and
front covers.
Caution
:
Opening the front
cover pulls the toner cartridges
forward slightly to make room
for the OPC belt cartridge. You
could damage the OPC belt if
you don’t do this.
