Replacing the OPC Drum Cartridge
When the OPC drum is worn out, the message DRUM CARTRIDGE END OF
LIFE appears. Printing can continue even after this message appears;
however, since print quality is reduced, the OPC drum cartridge and waste
toner bottle should be replaced immediately.
"#
The OPC drum life is directly related to the number of rotations of the
drum. Longest drum life is achieved with continuous printing.
Intermittent printing with small job sizes requires cleaning rotations
before and after each job, and subsequently will impact OPC life.
You can also access the OPC drum cartridge supplies status using the Status
Display (refer to “Working with the Status Display” on page 48).
Removing the Used OPC Drum Cartridge
1
With the front door open and the used
waste toner bottle removed (see page
64), rotate the transfer belt unit release
lever clockwise to the top (11 o’clock)
position.
This releases the pressure on the
transfer belt unit.
2
Grasp the release lever for the OPC drum
cartridge, and then pull the cartridge
straight out about 6 inches
(152 mm).
