Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Drum End appears based on a page count, not a sensor reading. Inspect your prints for spots or streaks; if the quality is poor, do not reset—replace the DR-2510 drum instead.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Ensure the printer is powered on.
  2. Open the front panel.
  3. Hold the OK button until the Drum option appears.
  4. Select OK to reset the counter.
  5. Close the panel and print a test page.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Regularly clean the corona wire using the green tab at the top of the drum unit. This prevents toner buildup that causes unwanted vertical lines. Avoid touching the photosensitive surface directly.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error returns immediately after a reset or if print quality remains poor with a new drum, internal gear or fuser damage may require professional diagnosis.
