2. RESETTING DRUM COUNTER
By following this procedure after the drum unit has been replaced, the warning that appeared
when the drum unit was expiring or when it had reached the limit will be deactivated.

<Operating Procedure>
(1) Open the top cover while the machine is in the ready state. Press the button four
times to reset the drum counter.

3. SWITCHING BETWEEN CONTINUE MODE
