Replacing the Drum Cartridge
When the drum cartridge is near or reaches the end of its life, the following messages
appear on the printer’s control panel.
Important
• Make sure that the power is on when replacing the drum cartridge. Switching the power off erases the
print data in the printer and information accumulated in the memory.
• Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight or strong light.
• To protect the drum cartridge against bright light, close the front cover within 3 minutes. If the front cover
remains open for more than 3 minutes, print quality may deteriorate.
• Make sure that nothing touches or scratches the surface (black-colored film) of the belt unit. Scratches,
dirt, or oil from your hands on the film of the belt unit may reduce print quality.
