Replacing the Image Drum and Toner Cartridge at the Same Time

This section describes how to replace the image drum and toner cartridge with new ones at the same time.

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). Do not leave the image drum for 5 minutes or more even under room light.

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

  • Charges for services for problems caused by the use of consumables other than OKI 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. Prepare new image drum and toner cartridge.

  2. Insert your finger into the recess on the right side of the machine and pull the front cover open lever (1) to open the front cover (2) forward.

  3. Press the open button (3) and open the output tray (4).

    Burns may result.

    The fuser unit is extremely hot. Do not touch it.

  4. Identify the image drum to be replaced by its label color.

  5. Remove the image drum (5) from the machine and place it on a flat surface.

    Burns may result.

    Never throw a used image drum or toner cartridge into a fire. They may explode, and the toner inside may fly off and cause burns.
