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.
