Product Features
Technical Overview
This imaging unit utilizes laser print technology, which is standard for the supported monochrome printer models. The drum's surface is engineered to work with the printer's toner system to produce sharp text and graphics.
The key technical specification is its rated page yield of 40,000 pages. This yield represents the typical number of pages the drum can produce under standard conditions before requiring replacement, making it a critical factor for calculating total cost of ownership and maintenance scheduling.
Relevant factors for this section include Print Technology, Typical Print Yield, Weight (Approximate). When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
Choosing the genuine Xerox 013R00690 imaging unit provides several advantages over aftermarket alternatives. It guarantees exact fit and function, eliminating compatibility risks that can cause printer errors or damage.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Optimized Print Quality, Reliable Machine Operation.
Optimized Print Quality
Engineered to Xerox's specifications, this drum maintains the printer's original print quality, ensuring consistent toner adhesion and image transfer for professional-looking documents.
- Preserves original print density
- Minimizes background toner scatter
- Supports precise dot alignment
Reliable Machine Operation
Using the correct imaging drum helps prevent common printer issues such as streaks, ghosting, or premature wear on other components, supporting overall printer health and uptime.
Deployment / Use Cases
This imaging unit is deployed as a maintenance part during the lifecycle of compatible Xerox workgroup printers. It is typically installed by IT staff or service technicians when print quality degrades or as part of a proactive replacement schedule.
Primary use cases include office environments, small businesses, and departmental settings where the B305/B310/B315 printers are used for general document printing. The 40,000-page yield makes it suitable for moderate-volume printing duties, balancing replacement frequency with operational continuity.
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled replacement of the imaging drum as part of regular printer maintenance helps avoid unexpected print quality failures and extends the operational life of the printer.
Quality Restoration
Installing this unit resolves print defects like light prints, repeating marks, or background shading that indicate a worn drum, restoring output to like-new condition.
Physical Profile
The imaging unit has an approximate weight of 2.29 lb (1040 g), making it lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Its design integrates seamlessly into the printer's drum bay, with no external adjustments or tools required beyond the printer's normal access procedures.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.29 lb (1040 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the page yield of this Xerox imaging unit?
The Xerox 013R00690 imaging unit has a typical print yield of 40,000 pages. This yield is an estimate based on standard testing conditions and represents the average number of pages the drum can produce before print quality may degrade, indicating it's time for replacement. Actual yield can vary based on print density, environmental factors, and printer settings.
Which printer models is this imaging drum compatible with?
This genuine imaging unit is specifically compatible with the Xerox B305, B310, and B315 laser printer models. It is designed as an exact replacement part for the imaging drum in these devices. Using it in other printer models is not supported and may cause compatibility issues or damage.
Is this a genuine Xerox part or a compatible alternative?
This is a genuine Xerox imaging unit, listed with manufacturer part number 013R00690. It is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, not a third-party compatible or remanufactured part. This ensures it meets Xerox's exact specifications for fit, function, and performance in supported printers.
What print technology does this imaging drum use?
This imaging unit is designed for laser print technology. It works within the electrophotographic process used by the compatible Xerox laser printers, where the drum's surface is charged, exposed to laser light to create an electrostatic image, and then attracts toner particles to form the printed image on paper.
How do I know when to replace the imaging drum in my printer?
Replace the imaging drum when print quality issues appear, such as light prints, repeating marks, streaks, or background shading on documents. Printers may also display maintenance messages or error codes indicating drum life is low. Proactive replacement based on page count (approaching 40,000 pages) can prevent quality degradation during important print jobs.
What is the approximate weight of this imaging unit?
The imaging unit has an approximate weight of 2.29 lb (1040 g). This lightweight design makes it easy to handle during installation or replacement procedures. The weight includes the drum assembly and its housing as it is supplied for direct installation into the compatible printer.
