(3) Installation of the Copier and Storage of the Drum

Avoid installing the copier where it may be subjected to high temperature, high humidity, chemicals and/ or chemical gas.

Do not leave drums in a brightly lit place for a long time. Otherwise, the drum will be fatigued, producing some background fog on the copy after being installed in the machine. However, this effect will decrease as time elapses.

(4) Cleaning the Drum

At periodic maintenance calls, wipe softly the entire surface of the drum using the designated cleaning cotton (dry soft pad). Use sufficiently thick cleaning cotton so as not to touch the drum surface inadvert- ently with your fingertips or nails. Also, remove your rings and wristwatch before starting cleaning work to prevent accidental damage to the drum.

Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol or silicone oil as they will have an adverse effect on the drum. Never use selenium refresher, either.

(5) Scratches on Photoconductive Drum Surface

If the surface is scratched to such a degree that the aluminum base is exposed, black spots or streaks will be produced on copy images and can also damage the cleaning blade. So, replace the drum with a new one.

(6) Collecting Used Photoconductive Drums

Regarding the recovery and disposal of used OPC drums, you should follow your relevant local regula- tions and rules.
