FAQs
What is the page yield for the DR-313 drum?
The DR-313 is rated for a page yield of up to 75,000 pages.
Can I use this drum in older bizhub models not listed?
No, this drum is specifically engineered for the C258/C308/C368/C458/C558/C658 series and may not fit or function correctly in other models.
Do I need to replace all drums at once?
Not necessarily. The printer's interface will usually notify you specifically which drum unit (e.g., Black, Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow) is nearing the end of its life.
Why is it important to buy an Original (OEM) drum?
Original Konica Minolta drums are designed to meet exact tolerances, preventing potential hardware damage and ensuring the quality of output that the printer is capable of.
How should I store a spare drum unit?
Keep it in its original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Vertical streaks appearing on prints
The drum surface may be dirty or scratched. Clean the drum according to the printer manual or inspect for debris; if scratches are present, the unit may need replacement.
Printer displays 'Replace Drum' error
Ensure the drum is fully seated in the machine and the locking lever is engaged. If the message persists, perform a soft reset via the printer settings menu.
Faint or light print quality
Check if the printer's drum life counter has been reset correctly upon installation. Also, ensure the toner cartridge has sufficient levels.
