Changing the Drum Cartridge, Waste
Bottle and Oiling Roller
• The drum cartridge can provide up to 20,000 images of A4/let-
ter-size prints. One image is equal to one cycle of the drum car-
tridge. The drum cartridge operates once (one image) to
provide one monochrome print. In comparison, the drum car-
tridge operates four times (four images) to provide one color
print.
• When 20,000 images is calculated as color prints, around 5,000
sheets can be printed. (This value will vary according to the
color-to-monochrome print ratio, image conditions, etc.)
• Change the drum cartridge together with the waste bottle and
oiling roller (these parts are preset to be replaced at the same
time).
• When the waste bottle is filled with toner,
“REPLACE WASTE
BOTTLE” is displayed. Change the drum cartridge, waste bot-
tle and oiling roller according to the following procedure.
• When the drum cartridge is almost ready to be replaced,
“DRUM ALMOST USED” is displayed. This message indicates
that it is now time to prepare a new drum cartridge.
• A
“REPLACE DRUM”
display indicates that it is now necessary
to replace the drum cartridge. Change the drum cartridge,
waste bottle and oiling roller according to the following proce-
dures.
• Dispose of the old drum cartridge, waste bottle and oiling
roller in plastic bags according to your local regulations, or
return them to your dealer.
