    Bizhub C224e drums change

    Hi guys. Going to change all 4 drums on one C224e.
    Thinking about how to do it, all drums at once and then Stabilization+Gradations.
    Or maybe one after one? I know that there's good chance that this can be done either ways, just curious what do you do it and how.
    Any thoughts are welcomed.

    There's no need to change one drum, then do the adjustments, then change another... except maybe if you need the practice.

    I change all the PM parts that I'm going to, then do the adjustments only once. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      Didn't think to do adjustments after every drum unit, more like:
      Put one, turn machine on, machine resets counters for that color do HV adjustments(grid, dev. bias, etc).
      All at once, sounds reasonable, Thanks for the help BC.

        you don't even need to turn machine off to reset. 1) open front door swap drums close door 2) take 5 min walk or smoke break 3) walk back to machine saying a prayer (optional) 4) run some test sheets, all should be good 5) hand customer bill as you run out the door telling customer the warranty is as long as they can see the tail lights on your car

          5 minutes? It takes less time for the drum

            I've actually had machines stabilize longer than 5 mins after putting in new consumables. But most of the time is 5 mins or less.

              You really should be running "initialise/stabalise" and gradation after installing drums.

                Correct by the book you should do the graduation adj when any of the consumables are replaced. But I usually don't if everything looks good.
