Chapter 3 Consumable Replacement

Replacing The Photoreceptor Drum

Drum life is dependent upon media used and proper maintenance and operation of the printer. Print media other than bond paper (e.g., labels, card stock, plastic, or vinyl) may reduce drum life as much as 50%.

To replace the drum, you need a drum auxiliary rod. Please read all steps before beginning the replacement procedure.
