„

If the problem is not solved after printing a few pages, the drum unit may have 
glue from the label stuck on the OPC drum surface.

Clean the drum unit as follows:

a

Put the print sample in front of the drum unit, and find the exact position of 
the poor print.

 

b

Turn the drum unit gear by hand while looking at the surface of the OPC 
drum (1).

 

c

When you have found the mark on the drum that matches the print sample, 
wipe the surface of the OPC drum with a cotton swab until the dust or paper 
powder on the surface comes off.

 

CAUTION

 

DO NOT clean the surface of the photosensitive drum with a sharp object.

 

„

The drum unit may be damaged. Put in a new drum unit. See 

Replacing the drum 

unit

 on page 68.
