the seal is damaged, replace it.
Dusting the ITB with Lubricant Powder
1. Get a pack of Lubricant Powder B1329700.
• The ITB must be coated with lubricant powder B1329700 before installing a new ITB.
• The lubricant powder (B1329700) (composed of ZnSt) is specially designed for this machine.
• Never use setting powder (54429101) for this machine. Using this setting power will damage
the drum charge roller and cause problems with image quality.
• Do not use the yellow toner from this machine, because it contains developer, and this will
damage the drum and ITB.
2. While rotating the knob [A] in the direction indicated by the arrow, apply powder at [B] with a soft
dry cloth.
3. Keep rotating the ITB at [A] while continuing to apply the powder at [B] through one full rotation until
the ITB is completely covered with powder.
4. After the ITB has been completely covered with the lubricating powder, turn lever [C] to the up position.
5. After the ITB is completely covered with powder, rotate the knob [D] in the direction indicated by the
arrow.
6. Keep rotating the knob at [D] until the ITB has made one full rotation. This reverse rotation covers the
edge of the belt cleaning blade with lubrication powder.
