Replacing the Image Drum Unit
Life Duration of Image Drum Unit
When the [
Image Drum Unit Near Life
]
message appears on the display screen, prepare
a replacement image drum unit.
If you continue printing, the message [Please
Replace the Image Drum Unit] will be displayed
and printing will stop.
A guideline for replacing the image drum unit is
every 20,000 pages or so for A4 sized paper
(with single-sided printing). However, this
number of pages is for printing with general
conditions (3 pages at a time). Printing one page
at a time reduces the drum life by about half.
The actual number of printed pages may be
halved again relative to the above guideline,
depending on the printing conditions.
If you continue to print more than the above, the
machine will force the printing to stop.
Note
The actual number of pages you can print with the image
drum unit depends on how you use it. The above guideline
may be reduced by more than half, depending on the
conditions of printing.
Note
Though opening and closing the top cover may extend the
life of a image drum unit for a while, it is recommended to
replace it soon after the [
Install New Image Drum Unit
]
is displayed.
The print quality may deteriorate after the toner cartridge
has been unpacked for a year. Replace it with a new one.
When the <

Procedure for Replacement
Note
The image drum (the green tube) is very delicate. Handle
it carefully.
Do not expose the image drum unit to direct sunlight or
very bright interior light (approximately more than
1500lux). Even under the normal interior light, do not
leave it for more than 5 minutes.
In order for the machine to have its full performance,
please use original Oki Data consumables.
If you use consumables other than Oki Data original ones
and a fault occurs, dealing with it will be charged for,
regardless of whether it is in the free fault service period.
(This is not for all faults occurring with non-original Oki
Data products, however, please bear this in mind when
using them.)
There is one toner cartridge for each color on the image
drum.
