TROUBLESHOOTING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 22 - 33
Replacing the drum unit
The machine uses a drum unit to create print images on paper. If the
LCD shows
Change Drum Soon
, the drum unit is near the end of
its life and it is time to purchase a new one.
Even if the LCD shows
Change Drum 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
Change Drum Soon
appears), then the drum
unit should be replaced. You should clean the machine when you
replace the drum unit. (See
Cleaning the drum unit on page 22-26.)
Caution
When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains
toner. If toner scatters and your hands or clothes get dirty,
immediately wipe or wash with cold water.
WARNING
Just after you have used the machine, some internal parts of the
machine are extremely
HOT! So please be careful.
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. 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.
HOT!
