Installing The Photoreceptor Drum
137
CAUTION
Avoid touching the surface of the drum with your hands,
which reduces the life of the drum.
15. Carefully pull the old drum outward along the drum auxiliary
rod. Hold the front and back ends when the drum is nearly out
of the printer, and remove it with both hands.

16. Pack the old drum for shipment using the original packaging
material, and close the cover of the box.
17. Wipe the drum shaft clean with a cloth.
CAUTION
Exposing the drum to light shortens its life. Do not expose the
drum to direct sunlight, and install it within five minutes under
typical room lighting conditions. When removing the drum
from its packaging, do not touch the surface of the drum,
because fingerprints and scratches can damage the surface
and cause poor print quality.
18. Remove the new photoreceptor drum from its package. Do not
discard the packaging material, as it will be needed for future
drum disposal.
Note that the ends of the drum are identical; there are no front
or back ends. Wipe inside the endcaps of the drum with a cloth
to ensure that they are clean.
