We are getting a warning message on our DP85F fax machine "Drum Unit Warning" We are trying to decide if we want to get a new machine. If we stop getting faxes, before we get a new machine, are the faxes stored in memory? If so how do we get them?

The "replace drum soon" indicater is a warning for you to have a new replacement drum "on-hand". Soon the display will change to "REPLACE DRUM" AT WHICH TIME THE UNIT WILL STOP PRINTING.
When the new drum cartridge is then installed...the REPLACE DRUM indicator will be reset. DO NOT replace the drum before the machine says to.

Try removing the drum unit with the fax machine turned on.After reinstalling the drum check the display for a "new drum?" message.Answer "yes" and the mashine will reset the counter

perform this progarm after replacement of drum.

PRESS MANU 52041 START/ENTER

Before doing complete Memory clear try the following...
Press..PROGRAM,*,*,I(thats the letter I),then ENTER.
That should reset it. Only replace the new drum into the machine when the machine says "Replace Drum"...NOT when it says "replace drum soon".
As a last resort a complete memory clear is PROGRAM,*,3.....but be warned this will clear all memory back to factory defaults "except" the Life Monitor which has the counters.

Check to see if when he reset the fax reverted back to receive only as a default.
