Photoreceptor Drum
Drum life is dependent upon media used and proper maintenance and operation of
the printer. Print media other than bond paper (e.g., labels, card stock, plastic, or
vinyl) may reduce drum life as much as 50%.
To replace the drum, you will need a drum auxiliary rod (listed on page B–82). Please
read all steps before beginning the replacement procedure.
CAUTION
Replacement of the photoreceptor drum should be performed only by an
individual who has received the appropriate training. Do not attempt this
procedure without the drum auxiliary rod, as you may damage the drum.
Exposing the drum to light shortens its life span. Do not expose the drum to
direct sunlight, and install it within five minutes under typical room lighting
conditions. When removing the drum from its packaging, do not touch the
surface of the drum, because fingerprints and scratches can damage the
surface and cause poor print quality.
