Maintenance Messages
The drum unit and drum replacement cartridge
must
be replaced
every 10,000 pages. It is
necessary
to
turn
off the printer to replace
the drum unit and drum replacement cartridge. However, you can
finish your print job first by following
the
procedure described
below.
Completing your print job before changing the drum
After
the CHANGE DRUM
message appears, you can print up to
100 pages more before changing the drum, as follows:
1. Print 10 pages at a time by pressing
the ON LINE
button. You can
do this up to nine times for a total of 90 pages.
2. You
can
then print
one
page at a time by pressing the
ON LINE
button. You
can
do this for 10 more pages. Then you must
change
the
drum unit.
Monitoring drum usage
You should check the indicator light on
the
drum replacement
cartridge each time you change the toner cartridge. This indicator
helps you monitor drum usage, as described on page 6-11. The
indicator light lets you know in advance of the display panel when
the drum unit should be changed.
CAUTION: If you regularly print high density graphics
(more
than 20
percent page density), you need to replace
the drum unit more frequently. You must keep track of
the number of toner cartridges you have used, and replace
the drum unit and drum replacement cartridge at the
same
time you install
the
eighth toner cartridge. Do not
wait for
the CHANGE DRUM
message to appear on the
control panel. Overuse of the drum unit results in a
reduction of print quality and increased maintenance
requirements.
