Replacing the image drum
It is recommended that you change the toner cartridge and clean the LED array at the same time as you change the image drum.
Caution! The green image drum surface at the base of the cartridge is very delicate and light sensitive. Do not touch it and do not expose it to normal room light for more than 5 minutes. If the drum unit needs to be out of the printer for longer than this, please wrap the cartridge inside a black plastic bag to keep it away from light. Never expose the drum to direct sunlight or very bright room lighting. Always hold the image drum unit by the ends or from the top.
Switch off the printer and allow the fuser to cool for about 10 minutes before opening the top cover.
1. Press the cover release and open the printer's top cover fully.
Warning! If the printer has been powered on, the fuser may be hot. This area is clearly labelled. Do not touch.
2. Remove the used image drum and toner cartridge.
