Replacement of the OPC Drum
Note:
Please do not touch the green part of the OPC Drum wiht your fingers.
If the print quality gets worse or as a preventive measure after printing about
30,000 pages the OPC Drum (11) should be replaced. The display indicates this
status by the message "EXCHANGE DRUM". This message is considered being
a warning, the user is free to continue printing. But with every new print job the
message will be displayed again.
It is only allowed to use an OPC Drum that has been released for the printer.
(For order numbers see Appendix
C
).
1. Open the top cover of the printer.
2. Remove the old OPC Drum carefully from the printer and set it aside on a
clean surface.
3. Remove the paper from the printer.
4. Clean the inside of the printer with the cleaning pads which are in the box of
the Cleaning Kit and pay special attention to the "Corona" wire below the
OPC Drum. Clean it with the brush which is also in the box of the Cleaning
Kit.
The OPC Drum is very light-sensitive, so it is wrapped up in lightproof foil.
Carefully remove the drum from its foil container.
Oil and dirt degrade print quality.
Do not expose the light-sensitive OPC Drum to room lighting or sunlight
any longer than necessary.
Insert the new OPC Drum into the printer behind the Developer Unit. Gently
press the top of the OPC unit to make sure it is fully down. The opening for
toner waste is now over the Waste Toner Container (14).
Note:
Please contact your delivery agent for the recycling program of OPC
Drums!
