Photosensitive Drum; Removing The Drum Unit - Canon NP6251 Service Manual

E. Photosensitive Drum
Points to Note When Handling the Photosensitive Drum
The machine uses an amorphous silicon drum, which will be subject to deterioration
if not oriented correctly (applicable to the process unit also). Keep the following in mind
whenever you need to handle the photosensitive drum:
If you have removed the process unit from the copier or removed the photosensitive
drum from the process unit, be sure to protect the photosensitive drum from light by
wrapping it with the photosensitive drum protection sheet or six or more sheets of A3
(11" 17") or larger copy paper.
Do not place the process unit or the photosensitive drum near a window or in an area
exposed to direct rays of the sun.
Do not work in an area where the temperature/humidity changes abruptly or subject
to a high/low temperature/humidity.
Do not work in an area subject to dust, ammonium gas, or organic gas.
The foregoing points apply equally to all types of photosensitive drums.
