Why choose the genuine Canon C-EXV51 imaging drum
The drum (photoconductor) lays the toner onto the sheet; it is a wear part separate from the toner and outlasts several cartridges. A genuine Canon drum keeps sharpness and avoids marks repeated at regular intervals; the printer tracks its wear and signals replacement.
Drum and toner: two consumables
The toner (0481C002, 0482C002, 0483C002, 0484C002) holds the powder; the 0488C002 drum lays it on the sheet. The drum lasts about 6,400 pages. Marks repeated at regular intervals or a gray background: it is the drum to change, not the toner.
Printers compatible with the 0488C002
The 0488C002 is compatible with the following model (manufacturer data):
- i-SENSYS LBP7780Cx
Check the exact reference of your printer (label or Information menu); suffixes are variants of the same series and generally use the same consumables. If in doubt, send us the exact model.
Page yield
6,400 pages (manufacturer data, about 5% coverage). Graphics or photo-heavy pages reduce the actual yield.
Installation
Tool-free replacement: open the cover, remove the used assembly, unpack the new drum without touching the green surface or exposing it to light for long, refit and close. Follow the guide to reset the counter if the printer asks for it.
Use and tips
The 0488C002 drum is replaced far less often than the toner: about 6,400 pages. The printer's counter tracks its wear and warns ahead of time.
Keep the drum in its packaging until installation; do not touch the green surface and limit exposure to light. Marks repeated at regular intervals or a gray background: replace the drum, not the toner.
