how to install Canon GPR-23 Cyan Drum

• Turn off the Canon imageRUNNER C2880 or C3380 printer and unplug the power cord for safety before opening the printer access area.
• Open the front or top cover to access the imaging drum assembly. Locate the existing cyan drum unit and release any freight or locking mechanisms as instructed in your printer’s service manual.
• Carefully remove the old cyan drum, handling it by the frame to avoid contact with the drum surface. Place the used drum on a clean, non-abrasive surface if you plan to recycle or dispose of it later.
• Unpack the GPR-23 Cyan Drum and align it with the drum slot. Gently slide the new drum into place until it clicks or sits firmly, ensuring the electrical contacts and guides engage correctly.
• Close the printer cover, reconnect the power, and turn the unit on. Run a calibration or alignment routine if prompted by the printer’s UI, and print a test page to verify cyan accuracy and system readiness.
• If you see any color imbalance or faint images after installation, perform a panel cleaning cycle if your model supports it, and re-run a color calibration to optimize results.
