Drum Cartridge (DC) life control
• The Drum Cartridge offers the following life controls: detecting a new DC and resetting
the life counter.
A. New DC detection
• The machine attempts to perform a new DC detection sequence when the Power Switch
is turned OFF and ON, or the Front Door is closed.
If no new DC is detected, the image stabilization sequence is not carried out.
• If a new DC is detected, the image stabilization sequence is carried out.
B. Reaching the life
• The life counter is reset when a new DC is detected.
• The machine gives a warning screen when the life value is reached. After a predeter-
mined number of printed pages are produced after the life value has been reached, the
machine displays a DC replacement message.
