Chapter 4 Consumable Replacement

Installing The Photoreceptor Drum

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

To replace the drum, you need a drum auxiliary rod and a flat-tip screwdriver. Please read all steps before beginning the replacement procedure.

CAUTION Do not do this procedure unless you have received the appropriate training. Do not do this procedure without the drum auxiliary rod (P/N 703531-170), as you may damage the drum.

1.Turn the power switch OFF.

2.Open the printer front upper cover. (See page 124.)

3.Open the waste toner recovery unit by pushing downward on the lever. Pull the green handle and swing the unit outward away from the printer.
