Chapter 3 Consumables 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 will need a drum auxiliary rod. Please read all steps before beginning the replacement procedure.

CAUTION Replacement of the photoreceptor drum should be performed only by an individual who has received the appropriate training. Do not attempt 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 52.)

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. (See page 60.)

4.Loosen the three thumbscrews on the upper inner cover. Then remove the cover.
