FAQs
What is an OPC drum unit?
An Organic Photo Conductor (OPC) drum is a cylinder that carries an electrostatic image, attracting toner and transferring it onto the paper.
Is this a genuine Kyocera part?
No, this is a high-quality compatible unit manufactured to perform to the same specifications as the Kyocera DK170.
Does this unit include toner?
No, the drum unit and toner cartridge are separate components in your Kyocera printer; this product only replaces the drum.
How do I know when to replace the drum?
Most printers will display an alert message when the drum reaches its end-of-life, or you may notice repetitive spots or streaks on prints.
Can I touch the drum roller?
No, you should avoid touching the drum surface as oils and debris from your hands can damage the sensitive coating.
Troubleshooting
Printer displays 'Drum Error' after installation
Remove the drum and re-seat it to ensure all electrical contacts are fully engaged.
Faint lines or streaks appear on printed pages
Check the drum surface for debris or toner accumulation and clean with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Poor print quality immediately after install
Run the printer's built-in 'Drum Refresh' or 'Cleaning' cycle found in the device maintenance menu.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the DK170, power off the printer and open the front access panel. Remove the old drum unit carefully by pulling the handle. Insert the new DK170 unit, ensuring it clicks firmly into place. The unit is compatible with the following models: FS1320D, FS1370DN, ECOSYS M2035DN, ECOSYS P2135D, ECOSYS P2135DN, ECOSYS M2535DN, and ED1720. For care, avoid touching the green or blue light-sensitive roller surface with your fingers, as skin oils can cause print defects. Keep the unit away from direct sunlight and store in a cool, dry place until use.
