Panasonic PanaFax UF-490 Problem with Drum Unit

Our office fax told us to replace the Drum Unit which we have dutifully done. However it is still telling us to replace said drum unit. We have attempted taking out the drum unit, turning off the machine and replacing it once more all to no avail. The fax has now started claiming that it has a document mis-fed or a document jam frequently even when it has no paper jammed in it at all.

Our fax machine has been saying replace drum for a while and faxes have been getting darker and darker we cleaned it but now we can send but not receive what is the drum?

Hi,
the drum is green roller in housing with toner, you should order the drum cartridge for your fax. With new drum you get the how to manual also. Follow the procedure.
NOTE THAT THE DRUM UNIT IS SEPARATE FROM TONER UNIT.

Hope that helps!

Office Fax is telling us to replace drum unt.

Look at the sticker on the machine to get into Maintenance and clear the drum count. I think it's Function 9 set.

instructions should have been in the drum box.
