The Drum Cartridge requires replacement when the drum life warning is displayed, after
approximately 15,000 copies.
If streaks or spots are being experienced on the prints there is an option for cleaning the
drum.
CAUTION: Do not expose the green drum to light for an extended period. Never
expose the drum to direct sunlight or touch the drum surface. Damage or poor image

The machine automatically pulls in a sheet of paper, and prints it out. The toner particles
on the OPC drum surface are fixed to the paper.
Replacing the Drum Cartridge
The useful life of the drum cartridge is approximately 15,000 copies/prints in simplex mode. A
high rate of duplex copying/printing reduces the overall life of a drum. The LCD displays
‘DRUM WARNING’ when the drum is near the end of life. Approximately 1,000 more copies
can be made, but a replacement cartridge in should be available. Replace the drum cartridge
when copy/print quality becomes degraded.
