Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

E60 is an alert about the DR-9000 drum. If you notice vertical streaks or repetitive spots on prints before the error appears, the drum has reached its end of life.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Extraction: Open the front cover and remove the toner and drum assembly.
  2. Inspection: Verify the drum surface (the green/blue cylinder) for dents or physical marks.
  3. Cleaning: Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the corona wire if toner build-up is visible.
  4. Replacement: If the error persists, install a new DR-9000 drum unit.

Prevention and Maintenance

Avoid exposing the drum to direct sunlight for more than a few minutes as it is photosensitive. Run automatic cleaning cycles from the control panel if blurry prints occur.

When to Call a Technician

If the E60 error continues to appear on the panel after replacing the drum unit with a new one, the issue likely resides with the printer’s internal detection sensor and requires professional inspection.
