Maintenance
Cleaning the Drum
If streaks or spots appear on the prints, the drum cartridge may require cleaning.
Ensure that paper is loaded.
Press [Menu/Exit] on the Control Panel to enter menu mode.
Press or until ‘MAINTENANCE’ appears, then press [Enter].
Press [Enter] to access ‘CLEAN DRUM’.
The LCD displays ‘PRINTING PLEASE WAIT...’
The machine automatically pulls in a sheet of paper, and prints it out. The toner particles on the OPC drum surface are fixed to the paper.
Replacing the Drum Cartridge
The useful life of the drum cartridge is approximately 15,000 copies/prints in simplex mode. A high rate of duplex copying/printing reduces the overall life of a drum. The LCD displays ‘DRUM WARNING’ when the drum is near the end of life. Approximately 1,000 more copies can be made, but a replacement cartridge in should be available. Replace the drum cartridge when copy/print quality becomes degraded.
