Replacing the OPC Drum, Laser Lens Cover, and Waste
Toner Pack
Attention
The OPC drum is extremely sensitive to bright light and direct sunlight. Always
leave it in its protective bag until you're ready to install it. Any exposure to light
should be avoided, or permanent damage could result. Any damage resulting from
mishandling of the OPC drum will void the warranty of the OPC drum. Also, handle
the cartridge carefully by its sides so you don't touch the surface (the green part) of
the drum. The drum is also extremely sensitive to hand oils and scratches, both of
which reduce print quality.
When the OPC drum is worn out, the message REPLACE DRUM appears. The printer will
not print until the drum kit is replaced.
When you replace the OPC drum cartridge after a DRUM LOW or REPLACE DRUM
message displays in the message window, the printer automatically recovers. However, the
replaced waste toner pack consumables monitoring system must be reset.
The three items below are included in the OPC drum kit. If one needs replacing, replace
all three items.
Waste toner pack
The OPC drum life is directly related to the number of rotations of the drum. Longest
drum life is achieved with continuous printing. Intermittent printing with small job sizes
requires cleaning rotations before and after each job, and subsequently will impact OPC
life.
