Image Drum Cartridge Life
The life of the image drum depends on a number of factors,
including the operating temperature, humidity, the type of paper
you use, and the number of pages per job. Each time you print or
power on/off, the drum has to rotate to start up and to wind down.
As a result, frequent one page print jobs will wear down your
drum more quickly than multiple-page print jobs. The image
drum cartridge should last approximately 19,000 pages at 3 pages
per job, or up to 30,000 pages if you print mostly larger jobs.
When to Replace the Image Drum Cartridge
When the image drum reaches 90% of its life, the CHANGE
DRUM message will display in the control panel window.
Change the image drum cartridge when the print becomes faint
or begins to deteriorate. Ideally you should keep a new cartridge
on hand.

Replacing the Drum Cartridge
Precautions:
The image drum is fragile. To avoid damage to the new
drum, take these precautions while handling the new
image drum cartridge:
• Do not touch the green drum surface.
• Do not set the cartridge down on anything that might
scratch the surface of the drum.
• Do not expose the drum to direct sunlight and do not
expose it to room light for more than 5 minutes. Leave it
in the package until you are ready to install it into the
printer.
