Printer Maintenance 3
Replacing the Image Drum Cartridge
When the image drum reaches 90% of its life, the CHANGE DRUM message will display on the printer’s front operator panel and on your screen in the Status Monitor if you have installed the printer software.
Change the image drum cartridge when the print becomes faint or begins to deteriorate. It’s a good idea to keep a new cartridge on hand.
1.You will need a new image drum cartridge (OKIPAGE 10 and 12 Series Type 5 Image Drum Cartridge Kit, Part#40433305) and a new toner cartridge (OKIPAGE 10 and 12 Series Type 5 Toner Kit, Part#52109001).
2.Open the printer cover.
3. Lift out the used image drum cartridge with toner installed.
4.Remove the new image drum cartridge from the package. To install the new image drum cartridge, follow the installation instructions in Section 1 (or the instructions included in the replacement kit).
Image Drum Cartridge Life
The life of the image drum depends on a number of factors, including the operating temperature, humidity, the type of paper you use, and the number of pages per job. Each time you print or power on/off, the drum has to rotate to start up and to wind down. As a result, frequent one page print jobs will wear down your drum more quickly than
Cleaning the LED Array
Clean the LED array each time you install a new toner cartridge, or if you have faded vertical areas or light printing down a page.
The LED array is on the underside of the printer cover. Wipe it gently with the cleaning pad that is included in the toner cartridge kit. You can also use a clean, soft cloth with a small amount of rubbing alcohol on it.
