DRUM CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
The useful life of the drum cartridge is approximately 30,000 copies. When the internal counter reaches approximately 29,000 copies, the drum replacement required (
) indicator will light up indicating that replacement of the drum cartridge will be needed soon. When the indicator begins to blink, replace the drum cartridge by following the procedure given below.
Do not remove the protective cover on the drum portion (black paper) of a new drum cartridge before use. The cover protects the drum against external light.
