sheets is estimated when printing in the following conditions.
• Printing ratio: 5%; Print density: the default; Paper size: Letter or A4; Paper type: Plain paper.

Replacing the Drum Cartridge
Drum cartridges are consumable products. Replace the drum cartridge with a new one when
<PREPARE NEW DRUM> or <REPLACE THE DRUM> appears in the LCD.
WARNING
Do not burn or throw used drum cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner remaining
inside the cartridges to ignite resulting in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
• If toner gets onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Do not use warm
water as this may set the toner permanently, and you may not be able to remove the toner stains.
• Do not touch the electrical contacts or gears in the cartridge cover, as this may result in an electric
shock.
IMPORTANT
• Use only a drum cartridge intended for use with this machine.
• The inner portion of the machine must be cleaned when replacing the drum cartridge, therefore, have a soft, dry
cloth available.
