-   What does it mean when the printer says REPLACE IMAGE DRUM 353: K DRUM LIFE. I know it sounds like I need to replace the image drum but is there any other possible error as it still sometimes prints and sometimes it doesn't and I didnt want to pay and buy an image drum ulness absolutely necessary. Could you please help, I;m going insane -   reservati675
If shakingthe toner doesn't work and moving the blue “handle thing” back to the unlocked and then locked position Try the following: Try switching slots cartridge with drum with another cartridge and drum in the printer once and print a test page. Then switch them back. This actually worked for me. Information given to me by a OKI tech. It forces the printer to reset the ink amt. setting.
There are sensors along the inside right wall that tell the unit if there is a K cartridge inserted. Usually what happens is that due to a toner spill, the sensor LED is covered with toner and or is bad . Hence it does not see the K cartridge. This happens mostly with the black or K cartridge. Get some compressed air and lightly shoot some into the hole that corresponds to the K cardtridge. Only in the hole, do not spray the air anywhere else in the printer.
If this does not clear it up, you would need to replaced the sensor board which is held in with 12 springs! If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it. Thanks, Joe
On your printer front, press Enter key 3 times. A Menu Map will print. Under USAGE MENU check the K Drum. It shows the life left on the drum. You can also verify the amount of toner left in your cartridges. Hope this helps. If not, call Oki Support 1-800 654-3282.. They are very helpful at no charge.

After about 85 - 100 pages printed it will say paper jam 381. There is one page half way out the exit and one page half way out of the drawer. I have just installed the paper feed rollers, thinking it was that. I am lost, this is the first Oki i have seen and am unable to get any service manuals since we are a Kyocera dealer. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
