This section describes what the end user should do when replacing the consumable parts.

■Resetting the drum counter

The printed image may deteriorate when using the drum unit to a certain degree. The machine detects how much the drum unit is used with the drum counter and lights up the Drum LED when the drum unit life is nearly at the end of its life to indicate to the end user that the drum unit life reaches the end of its life soon, in order to prevent the printed image defects due to drum unit deterioration.

The machine does not provide the function which resets the drum counter automatically when the drum unit is replaced with a new one. If replacing the drum unit with a new one without resetting the drum counter, the counted value of the old drum unit is used continuously so that the Drum LED is not off.

Fig. 5-5
