The Drum LED continues to blink if the drum counter was not reset when you replaced the drum. To reset the drum follow the instructions below:
1. Press the cover release button and then open the front cover of the printer.
2. Press and hold down Go button until all 4 LEDs are lit. Once all 4 LEDs are lit, release the Go button.
3. Close the front cover.
4. Make sure that the Drum LED is now off.
