How to use

Power off the printer and follow the Ricoh device’s service manual for safe removal of the toner cartridge and access to the photoconductor unit. Remove the existing OPC drum according to the manufacturer instructions, avoiding contact with the drum surface to prevent contamination or damage. Install the KATUN 21670 drum in the correct orientation until it clicks or seats as described by the printer guide. Reinstall any removed components and perform any recommended cleaning or alignment procedures before powering the device back on. After installation, run a test print and, if provided by the printer, a cleaning or calibration cycle to ensure proper image registration and density.

Usage recommendations

Handle the drum by its ends and avoid exposing the photoconductor surface to strong light for extended periods. Store unused units in their protective packaging in a cool, dry place. Follow Ricoh service and maintenance intervals to maximise print quality and drum life.
