Drum Warning
- Explanation: This message appears when the OPC drum is nearing the end of its life
(14,000 pages). This means that the life of the mechanical parts in the print cartridge has
expired (this is not an indication of toner remaining).
- Solution: After printing about 15,000 pages, in a worst case scenario, the waste toner collec-
tor might overflow and it may cause the system to fail. Also after 15,000 pages the OPC drum
surface will be becoming worn and print quality will degrade, print images will become misty.
It is therefore necessary to replace the print cartridge even though there may be toner left in
it. When this message occurs there are approximately 1,000 pages left.
