Cleaning The Photoreceptor Drum - Printronix L5000 Series Maintenance Manual

Cleaning the Photoreceptor Drum

After 150,000 pages, remove the drum and inspect it for toner and label adhesive
build-up. If necessary, clean the drum as explained in the following procedure. If the
majority of your printing applications are less than the full width of the drum, rotate
the drum on the shaft.
When cleaning the photoreceptor drum, note the following:
1. Turn the power switch OFF.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Open the printer front upper cover.
Scheduled Maintenance
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.
