Store drum units in a location away from light sources such as direct sunlight. Storing the drum unit in a room that is cold but rapidly heated, or has other rapid temperature changes, causes water droplets (condensation) to form inside it. Do not remove the orange-colored protective cover until you are instructed to do so in the following procedure. |

For the model number of the drum unit, see Replacement Parts. The drum unit replacement message displayed at the bottom of the screen differs depending on your contract. Press <Close> when you are finished with drum unit replacement.  |
