The “CHANGE DRUM SOON” Message

The “CHANGE DRUM SOON” message is a warning that the image drum cartridge in your OKIFAX may be approaching the end of its usable life, which is approximately 20,000 pages, depending on the length and type of document you receive or copy. It appears when the drum has used up approximately 90% of its life, based on an internal calculation.

This message does not mean that you must replace the image drum immediately, nor does it cause your OKIFAX to stop working. In most cases, your image drum still has at least 10% of its productive life left. You can continue to use the image drum as long as print quality is acceptable; however, you should have a replacement image drum and toner cartridge handy. Replace the drum when print quality deteriorates below an acceptable level.

Replacing the Image Drum Cartridge

You need a new image drum if the faxes you receive are light or have vertical streaks in them and you are not out of toner, or if your OKIFAX displays a “CHANGE DRUM” message. Contact your Authorized OKIFAX Dealer to order one.

Note: You must replace the toner cartridge when you replace the image drum.

The life of an image drum depends on a number of fac- tors, including temperature and humidity, the type of paper you use, and the number of pages per job.

Cautions:

■Never expose the image drum unit to light for more than 5 minutes.

■Never expose the image drum unit to direct sunlight.

■Never touch the surface of the green drum inside the image drum unit.

■Be careful not to scratch the green surface when you put the drum down on a table or other surface.

To replace the Image Drum Cartridge:

1Lift the doument table into an upright position.
