anything else I can do with the drum? to recoup some value or see if I can improve it?
Save the MFC for when I need better printing.Īnd for 'fun'. I have a brother HL-1440 that's much older and I use to print most things. (right? The drum is light sensitive?).īut yeah, low volume - that's over a couple years : ) There's a time limit for the life of the drum? Thanks! (although I don't like the answer : )ĭrum is toast - after 3K pages when it supposedly does up to 12K? One of the web interface pages with the page count talked of 5% average page coverage.Īnd when I work with the drum / toner, I make sure to keep the lights low / don't use a desk light to improve lighting. When you see light print, that's usually the toner that is 'dead', so it's not clinging to the drum like it should. As the drum loses it's ability to hold a higher charge of electricity, the more the toner wants to 'cling' to it. Since the toner clings to the part of the drum with LESS charge, that's why it's the opposite effect of what you think.
The light 'beam' of the laser/LED actually bleeds off a lot of that charge in the shape of what will be printed.
Usually this won't matter, as the printer is stationary and not disturbed. There is a flap that covers the toner port in the cartridge. Someone yanking the paper out usually doesn't result in drum damage, though it can bend clips and other pieces. The spacing of those lines can tell the technician exactly which roller has the defect, including the drum. Printer technicians usually have a chart for a particular printer. Yes, any small damage to the drum will show up like that. there's a laser somewhere in there that draws the image of the page onto the drum, then the toner clings to the drum in those spots?Over time, as the drum gets less light sensitive (and less static cling?), the images get lighter / less toner adheres to the drum to be heated onto the page?So less not more toner would cling to the drum? I have the opposite. Although I am thinking it's gravity / drum is below the toner? but over hours, there's enough toner that leaks out onto the drum for the problem on the first page?Drums are light sensitive. Is there a flap / cover on the toner cartridge that keeps toner from leaking out. I'm thinking I had a paper jam and pulled out the paper maybe the wrong way / bent something?
