Replacing the Image Drum Cartridge (P/N 40468701)

When the image drum reaches 90% of its life, the CHANGE DRUM message will display in the control panel window. You should have a new image drum cartridge and a new toner cartridge on hand at this point. Change the image drum cartridge when the print becomes faint or begins to deteriorate.

Note: To replace the image drum, you will need both a new image drum cartridge and a new toner cartridge.

Precautions!

The image drum is fragile. To avoid damage to the new drum, take these precautions while handling the new image drum cartridge:

•Avoid touching the green drum surface.

•Be careful not to set the cartridge down on anything that might scratch the surface of the drum.

•Keep the drum from exposure to direct sunlight and don’t let it sit in room light for more than 5 minutes. Leave it in the package until you are ready to install it in the printer.

To replace the image drum cartridge:

1. Press the OPEN button and lift the printer cover all the way back.

2.Lift out the used image drum cartridge with the toner installed and discard both in accordance with local regulations.

3.Open the LED lens cleaner (included with the replacement toner car- tridge) and wipe the LED lens assembly clean.

4.Fold over the lens cleaner and use it to wipe any paper dust off the clear plastic film inside the front of the printer.
