To read total copies: Hold down STOP/RESET key for 5 sec. Display will show F23
And will display total count.
Copy quality adjustment: See user mode and simulations.
Drum replacement: Remove imaging unit by doing the following: Remove cassette and open
front door, bypass door and paper conveying unit. Remove toner and waste toner bottler,
remove 2 screws
Holding waste toner cover and 1 screw holding developer retainer. Remove 2 screws from
image unit and slide out image unit. Remove charge corona by removing 1 screw in front and
removing. Remove drum blade spring, 2 screws in the front and 2 screws in the rear of the
cleaner unit and rotate cleaner unit away from the developer unit to access drum
(revision 12/31/04)*. Open cleaning unit and put a spacer in at rear to hold the blade away from
the drum. Remove screws in front that hold drum ground plate and remove plate. Remove ering from drum shaft. Remove 1 screw for upper developer seal and remove seal. Slide out
drum shaft. Lift out drum. New drum will have a letter code on it. Write down this number to
enter in simulation 109. After installing drum and reassembling machine, do simulations
U109,U110,U11.

Developer replacement & calibration: Remove drum as described above. Remove 1 screw and
washer. Lift 3 hooks upward and slide DV unit section cover off. Empty developer and replace.
Service manual says you can leave drum installed. Perform maintenance mode 130.

JAM CODES
J00, J15, J20, J21, J22, J30, J40, J50: paper jams in left side of machine.
J70, J72, J73: Document feeder jam.
J95: paper feed jam in left side.
J96: Charge corona problem.
J97: image decompression.
J98: BD laser problem.
Note: J95, J96, J97 and J98 can display as a result of electrical noise.

Simulation procedure: Press these keys in this order (and keep holding them down):
STOP/RESET+START+Left DENSITY key. Press STOP/RESET again.
Then, enter the code number with the number keys or the zoom keys. Press the START key,
after the item is run or tested, press STOP / RESET. Exit the mode with 001.
In most cases, if theres a choice of things to do, items to test, etc. use the COPY EXPOSURE
keys to make the selection. In certain items, use the zoom +/- keys to select the ON setting.
