inserting an approximately 20-mm thick pad under the image formation unit toward the developing section and removing
the drum with the unit slightly tilted.
• Hold the drum at the ends and never touch the drum surface.
• After removing the drum, keep it in the drum case or storage bag to protect the surface from light.
