Meaning of Maintenance Code DK
Maintenance required code DK is indicating that the drum counter has reached the specified limit, which means it is time to replace the ARC26DU black drum unit or drum and blade. Black Drum unit has a life of 100k copies. If this counter reached 100k, the other colour drum also starts to show the codes like DC, DM, and DY at the same time. The maintenance code still allows the copier to be photocopied and scanned, as usual, so you can reset it if the copy quality is still ok. But it is better to replace it.
Reset maintenance code DK:
To reset drum counter go into simulation mode by pressing the following keys one after.
- Press the #, *, c, * button on the panel, you will be into service modes.
- Type simulation code “24” on the panel then press the start button.
- Then you need to type sub-code “04 – maintenance counter clear" then press the start button.
- Then select the Drum CTRG K, Main Charger K, and Drum Blade K and touch the EXECUTE or START button and press Yes. Press the CA button to exit. Now the machine will restart and the code will be cleared
