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.
