If, however, the surface is contaminated with fingerprints, clean it using the following procedure.
NOTES
• The Organic Photoconductor Drum is softer than CdS and Selenium Drums and is therefore
susceptible to scratches.
• Even when the PC Drum is only locally dirtied, wipe the entire surface.
• Do not expose the PC Drum to direct sunlight. Clean it as quickly as possible even under
interior illumination.
• If dirt remains after cleaning, repeat the entire procedure from the beginning one more time.
1. Place the PC Drum into one half of its container.
2. Gently wipe the residual toner off the surface of the
PC Drum with a dry, Dust-Free Cotton Pad.
a) Rotate the PC Drum so that the area of its surface
on which the line of toner left by the Cleaning Blade
is present is facing straight up. Wipe the surface in
one continuous movement from the rear edge of the
PC Drum to the front edge and off the surface of the
PC Drum.
b) Rotate the PC Drum slightly and wipe the newly
exposed surface area with a CLEAN face of the
Dust-Free Cotton Pad. Repeat this procedure until
the entire surface of the PC Drum has been
thoroughly cleaned.
* At this time, always use a CLEAN face of the dry
Dust-Free Cotton Pad until no toner is evident on the
face of the Pad after wiping.
3. Soak a small amount of either ethyl alcohol or
isopropyl alcohol into a clean, unused Dust-Free
Cotton Pad which has been folded over into quarters.
Now, wipe the surface of the PC Drum in one
continuous movement from its rear edge to its front
edge and off its surface one to two times.
* Never move the Pad back and forth.
4. Using the SAME face of the Pad, repeat the procedure
explained in the latter half of step 3 until the entire
surface of the PC Drum has been wiped. Always
OVERLAP the areas when wiping. Two complete turns
of the PC Drum would be appropriate for cleaning.
