Are you a technician or just another home user that wants the secrets of the trade from experts?

I am just just a self taught technician still trying to learn anything I can from the masters and I also run my own business for which I need these production machines and whenever I can fix the problem myself, it saves me a lot of money.

Thank you.

Well, buy a service manual so you can support the unit yourself. Unfortunately, there are no "tricks" to prolonging a consumable, especially if you want your production to continiously look professional. Its good to try and support your own equipment, but know your limits and have a professional to call when you get in over your head.

AFAIK there aren't too many secrets. Drums are consumables for a reason - they get consumed.

The few tips I can think of are:

- Never expose the drum to direct sunlight for any period of time and reduce the exposition to ambient light to the minimum.
- Change drum cleaning blade and toner roller when they reach end of life.

Can't really think of anything else...
