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 e-ring 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.
