Replacing the Image Drum Only

This section describes how to replace the image drum when you want to continue using the toner cartridge.

Note

  • Use extra care when handling the image drum (the green cylinder), because it is fragile.

  • Do not expose the image drum to direct sunlight or strong light (approximately 1,500 lux or more). Even under room lighting, do not leave the image drum for 5 minutes or more.

  • Use Oki Data genuine consumables to ensure optimum performance of the products.

  • Charges for services for problems caused by the use of consumables other than Oki data genuine consumables are incurred, regardless of the warranty or in the maintenance contract. (Although use of non-genuine consumables does not always result in problems, use extra care when using them.)

  1. Open the scanner unit.

  2. Press the top cover open button.

  3. Open the top cover.

  4. Hold the image drum handle with both hands, and then remove the image drum from the machine.

    Burns may result.

    Be sure not to throw the used image drum and toner cartridge into a fire.
    The toner inside may scatter and ignite, resulting in burns.

    The toner cartridge is removed with the image drum.

  5. Unpack a new image drum.

  6. Remove the silica gel pack.

    Note

    Always use a new image drum. An image drum that has been used on another printer cannot be used.

  7. Align the guide posts (1) on the left and right sides of the image drum with their guide grooves (2) on the left and right sides inside the machine, and then set the image drum into the printer gently.

  8. Press the toner cover removal button on the image drum.

  9. Remove the toner cover.

    Note

    • Toner may remain on the reverse side of the toner cover. Use care not to stain other parts when removed.

    • Use extra care when handling the image drum (the green cylinder), because it is fragile.

    • Do not expose the image drum to direct sunlight or strong light (approximately 1,500 lux or more). Even under room lighting, do not leave the image drum for 5 minutes or more.

    • Do not leave the image drum for 1 hour or more, even if it is covered with black paper.

    Memo

    Dispose of the toner cover as incombustible waste.

  10. Rotate the blue lever of the toner cartridge in the direction of the (Unlock) arrow until it stops, and then remove the toner cartridge from the image drum that you removed from the machine.

  11. Install the removed toner cartridge.

    The installation method is the same as when installing a new toner cartridge. For details, refer to steps 9 to 11 in "Replacing the Toner Cartridge".

  12. Close the top cover.

  13. Close the scanner unit.

    Memo

    If you have to dispose of used image drums, put them into polyethylene bags or other container, and be sure to follow the regulations or instructions of your local government.
