It does this by using a special surface that has areas with different electric charges. These areas attract or repel a special kind of ink called toner, which is then transferred onto paper to create the final printed image. It may also be referred to as an imaging unit or a photoconductor unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is the difference between a toner cartridge and a drum unit?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA toner cartridge is a container that holds the ink powder called toner. The drum unit, on the other hand, is a part of the printer that takes the toner powder from the cartridge and puts it onto paper to make words and pictures. Think of it like the toner cartridge is the ink, and the drum is the part of the printer that puts the ink onto the paper. Without either one, the printer wouldn't be able to make any prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy, when and how often do does an imaging drum need to be replaced?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome printers and copiers have a single unit that holds both the ink powder (toner) and the part that puts the ink onto paper (drum). Other printers have separate parts for the toner and the drum. In this case, you have to replace the drum separately from the toner when it wears out. The drum usually lasts longer than the toner cartridge, and you may need to replace it after using 2-3 toner cartridges, depending on how much you print. Your printer should let you know when it's time to replace the drum, but you can also tell if it needs to be replaced if you see black spots or lines on your printed pages. As a general rule, you should always replace your drum unit after using three to four toner cartridges just to be safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat can I do to extend the life of my imaging drum?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo make your imaging drum last longer and keep it clean, you can clean the corona wire or LED heads from time to time. This is usually done by sliding a plastic piece attached to the corona wire back and forth a few times, or by using a cleaning stick under the drum. For example, on some Brother machines, you can slide the plastic piece attached to the corona wire back and forth, while on Xerox machines, you can use a cleaning stick under the drum. Doing this occasionally can help extend the life of your imaging drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo I need to do any reset after installing a new imaging drum? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter installing a new imaging drum, you may or may not need to do a reset. Some drums don't require any resetting at all, while others need to be reset. If you don't reset your drum, your printer may display a message saying you need to replace the drum unit and may not work correctly. Resetting the drum simply means resetting the counter so that your printer knows to give you a notification when it's time to replace the next drum unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet's hit the buy button and get it going!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 46px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 46px;\"\u003eOEM Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 46px;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eB209-3001, B2050153, B205-0153, B205-0151, B2050151, B2093001\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 36.4688px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 36.4688px;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 36.4688px;\"\u003eRicoh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 56px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003eManufacture Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003eCompatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 56px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 lb 5 oz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 56px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003eShipping Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003e20” x 7.3” x 7.2”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 76px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 76px;\"\u003eUser-installable (CRU)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 76px;\"\u003eNo. \u003cbr\u003eTechnician recommended to install. \u003cbr\u003eDoes Not Include Developer.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 56px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003eMachine Section\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003ePhotoconductor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 36px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 36px;\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 36px;\"\u003eDrum Unit \/ Imaging Drum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 56px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 356px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 356px;\"\u003eSuitable Printer Models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 356px;\"\u003eRicoh Aficio 3025\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio 3025P\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio 3025SP\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio 3025SPF\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio 3025SPI\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio 3030\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio 3030P\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio 3030SP\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio 3030SPF\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio 3030SPI\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 2510\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 2550\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 2550B\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 2550SP\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 2550SPF\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 2851\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 3010\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 3350\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 3350B\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 3350SP\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 3350SPF\u003cbr\u003eRicoh Aficio MP 3351SP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 56px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"line-height: 1.42857; height: 56px;\"\u003e1 x Ricoh B209-3001 Black Drum Unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Ricoh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43465698902093,"sku":"RH411018C","price":596.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/9804\/0653\/files\/B2093001_C0.jpg?v=1786681506","url":"https:\/\/tonery.com.au\/products\/ricoh-compatible-black-drum-unit-b209-3001-b205-0153-b205-0151_copy","provider":"Tonery - Main ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
