The "CHANGE DRUM SOON" message is a warning
that the image drum cartridge in your Konica FAX
9820 may be approaching the end of its usable life,
which is approximately 20,000 pages, depending on
the length and type of document you receive or copy.
It appears when the drum has used up approximately
90% of its life, based on an internal calculation.
This message does not mean that you must replace
the image drum immediately, nor does it cause your
machine to stop working. In most cases, your image
drum still has at least 10% of its productive life left.
You can continue to use the image drum as long as
print quality is acceptable; however, you should have
a replacement image drum and toner cartridge handy.
Replace the drum when print quality deteriorates
below an acceptable level.
You need a new image drum if the faxes you receive
are light or have vertical streaks in them and you are
not out of toner, or if your machine displays a
"CHANGE DRUM" message. Contact your Authorized
Konica Dealer to order one.
Note: You must replace the toner cartridge when you
replace the image drum.
The life of an image drum depends on a number of
factors, including temperature and humidity, the type
of paper you use, and the number of pages per job.
Cautions:
Never expose the image drum unit to light for more
than 5 minutes.
Never expose the image drum unit to direct sunlight.
Never touch the surface of the green drum inside the
image drum unit.
Be careful not to scratch the green surface when you
put the drum down on a table or other surface.
