Replacing the drum unit (DR-350), Change, Drum Soon, Change Drum Soon - toner life end

Page 115 highlights

Chapter 11 Replacing the drum unit (DR-350) The machine uses a drum unit to create print images on paper. If the LCD shows Change Drum Soon, the drum unit is near the end of its life and it is time to buy a new one. Even if the LCD shows Change Drum Soon, you may be able to continue printing without having to replace the drum unit for a while. However, if there is a noticeable deterioration in the output print quality (even before Change Drum Soon appears), then the drum unit should be replaced. You should clean the machine when you replace the drum unit. (See Cleaning the laser scanner window on page 11-22.) CAUTION When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains toner. If toner scatters and your hands or clothes get dirty, immediately wipe or wash it off with cold water. Note 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 how much toner you use for the number of pages per print job. The estimated drum life is up to 12,000 pages. 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 machine, some internal parts of the machine are extremely HOT! So please be careful. 1 Open the front cover and pull out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly. CAUTION To prevent damage to the printer from static electricity, do not touch the electrodes shown below. 11 - 27

Replacing the drum unit
(DR-350)
The machine uses a drum unit to create print
images on paper. If the LCD shows
Change
Drum Soon
, the drum unit is near the end of
its life and it is time to buy a new one.
Even if the LCD shows
Change Drum Soon
,
you may be able to continue printing without
having to replace the drum unit for a while.
However, if there is a noticeable deterioration
in the output print quality (even before
Change Drum Soon
appears), then the
drum unit should be replaced. You should
clean the machine when you replace the
drum unit. (See
Cleaning the laser scanner
window
on page 11-22.)
Note
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 how much toner you use for the
number of pages per print job. The estimated
drum life is
up to
12,000 pages. 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.

drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
CAUTION
When removing the drum unit, handle it
carefully because it contains toner. If toner
scatters and your hands or clothes get
dirty, immediately wipe or wash it off with
cold water.
WARNING
Just after you have used the
machine, some internal parts of the
machine are extremely
HOT!
So please
be careful.
