Frequently Asked Questions

The same mark keeps showing up down every page, in the same rhythm — is that this unit?

Yes, that repeating pattern is the classic signature of a worn drum surface. A flaw on the imaging drum prints once every time the drum turns, so the spot or line comes back at regular intervals all the way down the sheet. This listing is the replacement: one compatible 013R00662 black drum unit, priced at $117.45. An empty toner cartridge cannot make that rhythm — fading from low toner is even and overall, never a mark that repeats in step. If the defect repeats, it lives on the drum, and the drum is the part to change.

How do I tell drum wear apart from a toner cartridge that is simply running out?

Watch what a fresh toner cartridge does. Low toner fades the whole page, the fade comes back a little when the cartridge is rocked, and a new cartridge cures it completely. Drum wear ignores all of that: streaks, repeating spots and grey background shading where the page should be white stay exactly the same with a brand-new cartridge fitted, because the fault is on the imaging surface itself. The 013R00662 runs on its own clock, separate from every toner cartridge in the machine — toner is swapped many times over before this unit is due.

What does the 125,000-page rating on this drum actually measure?

It is the imaging life of the unit's surface — the number of pages the drum is built to image cleanly before wear starts to show in the output, roughly 250 reams of paper passing under it. It is not a toner yield and it is not a countdown the machine imposes; it is how long the surface holds up. A high-volume department can work through that life in a couple of years, while the same 013R00662 in a quiet office may serve far longer. The clock counts pages imaged, not months on the machine or time spent in a cupboard.

Which machines does this drum unit fit?

One drum serves the whole platform family: AltaLink C8030, AltaLink C8035, AltaLink C8045, AltaLink C8055, AltaLink C8070, WorkCentre 7525, WorkCentre 7530, WorkCentre 7535, WorkCentre 7545, WorkCentre 7556, WorkCentre 7830, WorkCentre 7830i, WorkCentre 7835, WorkCentre 7835i, WorkCentre 7845, WorkCentre 7845i, WorkCentre 7855, WorkCentre 7855i and WorkCentre 7970. The reliable check is the number on the unit you slide out: if it reads 013R00662, this is its replacement.

I already fitted a new toner cartridge and the grey background is still there — what now?

That result points away from toner and straight at the drum. Background shading means the imaging surface is no longer charging and discharging evenly, so a faint grey veil settles over areas that should stay white — and no cartridge change reaches that surface. Swapping in this 013R00662 unit is the fix: the old unit slides out as one piece and the new one slides in the same way, with nothing to pour, transfer or reset beyond the swap itself. Print a few pages afterwards and the white areas should come back clean.

What warranty and delivery cover does this unit carry?

It is backed by a one-year warranty and a full year of free returns, with the details on the shipping and returns page. Orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and our support team answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. The toner cartridges and other parts for these machines sit alongside it on the Xerox toner page.

About This 013R00662 Drum Unit

The single, ordered by its number: one compatible 013R00662 black drum unit for the AltaLink C8000 series and the WorkCentre 7500, 7800 and 7970 families, built for up to 125,000 pages of imaging life and priced at $117.45. This is the imaging drum itself — the part behind the toner cartridges, changed on its own schedule when repeating marks, streaks or background shading say its surface is done. It is not a toner cartridge, and nothing about its life is measured in toner terms.
