Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Error 310 is confirmed when print quality drops—look for repetitive dots or vertical streaks on every page. The control panel will prompt for a drum replacement when the counter hits zero.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Access unit: Open top cover and remove the toner and imaging drum unit.
  2. Visual check: Inspect the photoconductor cylinder for any streaks or surface spots.
  3. Clean: Wipe the surface with a lint-free dry cloth.
  4. Reset: Reinstall the unit and reboot to verify counter reset.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Never leave the drum exposed to bright light during maintenance; it will blind the sensitive surface. Keep the printer environment clean and dry to minimize abrasion on the drum coating.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If replacing the drum doesn't clear the error, there could be a fault in the internal sensor rail of the printer, which requires a service visit.
