DP C262 E326 error

Machine displaying E326, customer says they replaced all drums and still getting message. I'm not too familiar with Panasonic so just trying to get a heads up before I go out. Any suggestions ?
Thanks,

Re: DP C262 E326 error

Color drum rotation error. It is a general code indicated one of the 3 color drums. You can remove drums and turn by hand to determine which is binding up. I have seen a few new drums that wouldn't sit right on the rear frame. You had to remove them from the machine and turn the drive gear until you heard an audible click.

Also, people love to confuse the toner and drum units on this model. The verbiage on the screen is not the greatest...

I'm not sure but they are not OEM.

I would suspect the non OEM drums are causing the issue. If you have the originals drum, re-install them and there is a drum reset in service mode.

I remember it exists but I do not remember where it is in service mode. Been over a decade since I touched one of those.....

I put the drums back in that were in it originally but they are not OEM either. I'm not sure its worth it to buy OEM drums, if they are still available.

Do you remember if there was a code to run the drums in service mode ?

Seems I remember there is a flag on the back, maybe on the front? of the drum sometimes in transport the flag gets tripped, simply snap the flag back to home position until it clicks, and slide the drum back in.

Good luck.
