Perform the following steps to reset the drum:

Open front cover.
With the front cover still open, press the CLEAR/BACK key. The LCD will read REPLACE DRUM.
Press the UP ARROW key for YES. The LCD will briefly display "Accepted" followed by "Cover Is Open, Close the Front Cover".
Once the display shows "Cover Is Open, Close the Front Cover", go ahead and close the front cover.
If the error message continues to appear, repeat STEP 2 to ensure the steps were completed correctly. Make sure "Accepted" appears after selecting YES.
If the error message continues to appear and you already repeated the reset steps, go to STEP 3.
Open the front cover and remove the drum and toner assembly. Be sure to place the drum and toner assembly on a piece of paper in case of spilled or scattered toner.
3. Clean the primary corona wire inside the drum unit.

Gently slide the green tab from side to side at least 5 to 6 times.

Return the green tab to the home position at the far right.
