Printer Maintenance
Replacing the Image Drum Cartridge
When the image drum reaches 90% of its life, the CHANGE DRUM
message will display on the printer's front operator panel and on your
screen in the Status Monitor if you have installed the printer software.
Change the image drum cartridge when the print becomes faint or begins
to deteriorate. It's a good idea to keep a new cartridge on hand.
1. You will need a new image drum cartridge (OKIPAGE 10 and 12
Series Type 5 Image Drum Cartridge Kit, Part#40433305) and a
new toner cartridge (OKIPAGE 10 and 12 Series Type 5 Toner
Kit, Part#52109001).
2. Open the printer cover.
3. Lift out the used image drum cartridge with toner installed.
4. Remove the new image drum cartridge from the package. To
install the new image drum cartridge, follow the installation
instructions in Section 1 (or the instructions included in the
replacement kit).

Image Drum Cartridge Life
The life of the image drum depends on a number of factors, including
the operating temperature, humidity, the type of paper you use, and the
number of pages per job. Each time you print or power on/off, the
drum has to rotate to start up and to wind down. As a result, frequent
one page print jobs will wear down your drum more quickly than
multiple-page print jobs. The image drum cartridge should last up to
10,000 pages at 1 page per job, or 20,000 pages at 3 pages per job
(continuous printing). These numbers are approximate since you
won't print the same number of pages each time, and environmental
conditions and paper type used may vary.
Cleaning the LED Array
Clean the LED array each time you install a new toner cartridge, or if
you have faded vertical areas or light printing down a page.
The LED array is on the underside of the printer cover. Wipe it gently
with the cleaning pad that is included in the toner cartridge kit. You can
also use a clean, soft cloth with a small amount of rubbing alcohol on it.
