Lexmark 1200 manual When do I replace them?

for more information about print quality problems that may be caused by worn out photoconductors.

When you need to install new photoconductors, refer to the installation instructions that come with the photocon- ductors. Each time you replace the black photoconductor, be sure you also replace the fuser coating roll.

After you replace the photoconductors and close the printer’s top cover, the printer synchronizes the four pho- toconductors to correct the color registration. This adjust- ment may take up to 90 seconds, depending on the printer settings you have chosen.

Fuser coating roll The fuser coating roll lubricates the hot roll with oil. It installs under the printer’s rear cover.

To avoid damage to the fuser, replace the fuser coating roll each time you replace the black photoconductor. Refer to the installation instructions that come with the fuser coat- ing roll in the black photoconductor kit.

With certain types of printing, you may experience print quality problems that indicate you need to replace the fuser coating roll before it’s time to replace the black pho- toconductor. For example, if you repeatedly print the same images or fine line patterns or if you experience jams in the fuser, you may eventually notice toner specks on the front of the page or incomplete ghost images.

See “Identifying other problems” on page 109 for more information about related print quality problems. See page 89 for information about ordering a fuser coating roll separate from the black photoconductor kit.
