Lanier LD540C Yellow Drum Replacement Info

Lanier LD540C Yellow Drum Replacement – Just below is the guidelines for the drum and developer restoration. Ordinarily once you start viewing color streaks or color back grounding it is a warning that the charge grid and cleaning blade are starting to go bad. A few businesses offer up PM products and solutions to restructure the drum units however with the expense of these appearing relatively affordable, I’d incline towards simply replacement of unit considering that it normally takes minor technical skill-set contrary to fixing it which can commonly get challenging and messy.

Note : Majority of print quality problems are related to parts of the drum unit. In most cases, the developer last twice as long as the drum units and unless your really focused on print quality you will rarely notice developer issues until it’s extremely low. The steps below included directions for both replacement procedures. Therefore, if you are just replacing the drum unit make sure you don’t follow the steps past Note and I would even question the need of doing step 8.
