(1)

Use of gloves

If fingerprints or oil adhere to the drum surface, the property of the photosensitive drum may

degrade, affecting the quality of the copy image. So, do not touch the drum surface with bare

hands.

Handling precautions

As the photoconductive drum surface is very sensitive, be sure to handle the drum carefully

when installing and removing it so as not damage its surface.

Be sure to apply “patting powder” (lubricant) to the entire surface of the drum (including both ends

of the drum where OPC is not coated) when replacing the drum. When the drum has been replaced

with a new one, the drum counter (setting mode (08-1150-0, 3, 6 and 7) must be cleared to 0 (zero).

This clearing can be performed in PM support mode.

1. Application of the patting powder is for reducing the friction between the drum and cleaning

blade. If the application of patting powder is neglected, the drum and cleaning blade may be

damaged.

2. When paper fibers or dint adhere to the cleaning blade edge, they may reduce the cleaning

efficiency and, in addition, may damage the blade and the drum. Be sure to remove any fibers

found adhering to the blade.

(3)

Installation of equipment and storage of drum

Avoid installing the equipment where it may be subjected to high temperature, high humidity,

chemicals and/or their fumes.

Do not place the drum in a location where it is exposed to direct sunlight or high intensity light

such as near a window. Otherwise the drum will fatigue, and will not produce sufficient image

density immediately after being installed in the equipment.

(4)

Cleaning the drum

At periodic maintenance calls, wipe the entire surface of the drum clean using the designated

cleaning cotton. Use sufficiently thick cleaning cotton (dry soft pad) so as not to scratch the drum

surface inadvertently with your fingertips or nails. Also, remove your rings and wristwatch before

starting cleaning work to prevent accidental damage to the drum.

Do not use alcohol, selenium refresher and other organic solvents or silicon oil as they will have

an adverse effect on the drum.

(5)

Scratches on photoconductive drum surface

If the surface is scratched in such a way that the aluminum substrate is exposed, no copy image will

be produced on this area. In addition, the cleaning blade will be damaged so replacement with a

new drum will be necessary.

Collecting used photoconductive drums

Regarding the recovery and disposal of used photoconductive drums, we recommend following the

relevant local regulations or rules.
