Replacing the Drum Unit
The FAX/MFC uses drum unit to create print images on paper. If LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON,
the drum unit is near end of its life. Purchase a new Image Maker drum unit to replace the current one.
Even the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to continue to print without replacing
the drum unit for awhile. However if there is a noticeable deterioration in the output printing quality
even before CHANGE DRUM SOON is shown, then the drum unit should be replace. You should clean
the FAX/MFC when you replace the drum unit.
CAUTION
When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains toner. When you replace the
drum unit, you should clean the FAX/MFC.
The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is necessary to replace it periodically. There are many
factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature, humidity, type of paper and toner
that you use and the number of pages per print job, etc. the drum life is estimated at
approximately 20,000 pages at continuous printing and 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. The actual
number of pages your drum will print may be significantly less than these estimates. Because we
have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a
minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.
WARNING
Just after you have used the FAX/MFC, some internal parts of the machine are extremely HOT! So
