Learn About The Drum Unit

A new drum unit can print approximately 12,000 Letter or A4 size single-sided pages.
Drum wear and tear occurs due to use and rotation of the drum and interaction with paper, toner and other
materials in the paper path. In designing this product, Dell decided to use the number of rotations of the drum as a
reasonable determinant of the drum life. When a drum reaches the factory-established rotation limit corresponding
to the rated page yield, the product's LCD will advise you to replace the applicable drum. The product will continue
to function; however, print quality may not be optimal.
NOTE: If an unpacked drum unit is placed in direct sunlight (or room light for long periods of time), the unit may be
damaged .
NOTE: There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as the temperature, humidity, type of pa-
per, type of toner used and so on . Under ideal conditions, the average drum life is estimated at approximately 12,000
pages . The actual number of pages that your drum will print may be significantly less than this estimate .
Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a mini-
mum number of pages that will be printed by your drum .
NOTE: For best performance, use only genuine Dell toner . The machine should be used only in a clean, dust-free
environment with adequate ventilation .
Printing with a non-Dell drum unit may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the machine
itself . Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by the use of a non-Dell drum unit .
