Cleaning The Photoreceptor Drum

1. Remove the photoreceptor drum. See page 136.
2. Place the photoreceptor drum on a covered work surface.
3. If the drum is only slightly dirty, clean it with ethanol or isopropyl
alcohol. Do not use acetone.
CAUTION
When cleaning the photoreceptor drum, note the following:
•
Do not touch the drum surface with your hands.
•
To prevent the drum surface from being scratched, clean it
in a location free of dust.
•
Cleaning the drum may result in stains. A drum left unused
in the printer for a long time after cleaning may especially
be affected. Therefore, after cleaning and installing the
drum in the printer, use maximum size paper to print an
image repeatedly until no stains remain. Stains will usually
be cleared after printing a few dozen pages.
•
Press lightly when polishing the drum surface, as too
much pressure can damage the drum.
