Replacing The Photoreceptor Drum

Drum life is dependent upon media used and proper maintenance
and operation of the printer. Print media other than bond paper
(e.g., labels, card stock, plastic, or vinyl) may reduce drum life as
much as 50%.
To replace the drum, you will need a drum auxiliary rod. Please
read all steps before beginning the replacement procedure.
CAUTION
Replacement of the photoreceptor drum should be performed
only by an individual who has received the appropriate
training. Do not attempt this procedure without the drum
auxiliary rod (P/N 703531-170), as you may damage the drum.
1. Turn the power switch OFF.
2. Open the printer front upper cover. (See page 52.)
3. Open the waste toner recovery unit by pushing downward on
the lever. Pull the green handle and swing the unit outward
away from the printer. (See page 60.)
4. Loosen the three thumbscrews on the upper inner cover. Then
remove the cover.
