Replacing The Imaging Unit; How Do I Replace The Imaging Unit - Minolta MAGICOLOR 3100 User Manual

Replacing the Imaging Unit

The imaging unit contains 4 OPCs (Optical
Photo Conductors), 4 developers, and an
imaging unit transjnfer roller that forms the
image that is developed and transferred to the
media. When the imaging unit is worn out, the
message REPLACE IMAGING UNIT
appears. After the imaging unit is replaced, the
printer automatically resets the consumables
count. Imaging unit life is directly related to the
number of rotations of the OPCs. Longest unit
life is achieved with continuous printing or
minimum 4-page job size. Intermittent printing
with small job sizes requires a cleaning rotation
after each one-page simplex job, and therefore
impacts OPC life.
Attention
The OPCs are extremely sensitive to bright light, direct sunlight, and
touch. Always leave the imaging unit in its protective package until
you're ready to install it. Any exposure to light should be avoided and
limited to less than two minutes, or permanent damage could result.
If you suspect the OPCs are damaged due to exposure to light, put the
entire imaging unit in a dark place to recover. Depending on the amount
of exposure, recovery may take up to two hours. Recovery time is
dependent on the amount of exposure sustained, and recovery is not
guaranteed. Any damage resulting from mishandling of the OPCs will
void the warranty of the OPCs.
