Open the glass top lid and take a "sky shot"
A "sky shot" is simply a scan with nothing on it. Sometimes it helps to put a 1" - 2" strip of paper on the feed side of the scanner to help prevent the printed image from wrapping around the drum because of too much ink on the lead edge.
Run as many copies as it takes to fully convert drum to the new color
Usually more than 500.
