DRUM CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
The useful life of the drum cartridge is approximately 18,000 copies. When the
internal counter reaches approximately 17,000 copies, the error indicator will light up
and "A DRUM CARTRIDGE WILL BE NEEDED SOON" will appear in the display.
For more information on purchasing a drum cartridge, see "ABOUT SUPPLIES AND
OPTIONS" (p.91). When the error indicator blinks and "REPLACE THE DRUM
CARTRIDGE" appears in the display, the machine will stop operating until the
cartridge is replaced. Replace the drum cartridge at this time.
1
Remove the TD cartridge (see "TD CARTRIDGE
REPLACEMENT" (p.85)).
2
Hold the drum cartridge handle and
gently pull the cartridge out. Dispose
of the old drum cartridge in
accordance with local regulations.
3
Remove the new drum cartridge from the protective bag and
remove the protective cover from the cartridge. Gently install
the new drum cartridge.
4
Gently install the TD cartridge. To install the TD cartridge, see
"INSTALLING THE TD CARTRIDGE" (p.14).
Do not remove the protective cover on the drum portion (black paper) of
