Photoreceptor Drum

11.Install the discharge LED.

12.Remove the developing unit. (See page 147.)

13.Remove the photoreceptor drum. (See page 130).

14.Place the photoreceptor drum on a covered work surface.

15.If the drum is only slightly dirty, clean it with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. Do not use acetone.

CAUTION When cleaning the photoreceptor drum, note the following:

•Do not touch the drum surface with your hands.

•To prevent the drum surface from being scratched, clean it in a location free of dust.

•Cleaning the drum may result in stains. A drum left unused in the printer for a long time after cleaning may especially be affected. Therefore, after cleaning and installing the drum in the printer, use maximum size paper to print an image repeatedly until no stains remain. Stains will usually be cleared after printing a few dozen pages.

•Press lightly when polishing the drum surface, as too much pressure can damage the drum.

16.If the drum contains toner build-up, clean it with the drum freshener pad (listed on page 152). Turn the drum little by little while polishing the drum surface with the freshener pad. Polish with a slight force in the direction of the drum axis, using a circular motion. Let the polished areas slightly overlap each other, and polish the entire drum surface two or three times repeatedly.

17.Using the special dry tissue paper (listed on page 152), thoroughly wipe the drum freshener off the drum surface.

18.Wipe the drum surface again using a Toraysee cloth.
