How to use

Before installation, turn off the printer and allow it to cool if recently used.

Insert the replacement drum into the printer until it clicks or seats firmly, then close the cover. If required, reset the printer’s drum counter according to the printer’s service menu to ensure correct page yield tracking. Run a test page to verify print quality and alignment.
