Xerox 013R00650 Charge Corotron — black-drum charging assembly for the Colour 550/560/570, C60/C70 and PrimeLink
Genuine XeroxBlack drum (K)~190,000 pagesCustomer replaceable
The Xerox 013R00650 is the genuine charge corotron assembly for the black (K) drum position on the Xerox Colour 550/560/570, Colour C60/C70, PrimeLink C9065/C9070, Xerox 700/700i, WorkCentre 7655/7665/7675 and DocuColor 242/252/260, rated by Xerox at approximately 190,000 pages.
The charge corotron puts an even electrical charge on the drum before the image is written. When it is worn or contaminated you typically see streaks, background haze or uneven density in black areas, and the machine reports the corotron at end of life. Xerox classes it as a customer-replaceable unit.
Before you order: 013R00650 is the corotron for the black drum. The colour (C, M, Y) positions use a separate corotron part — check which position the machine is asking for before ordering.
What's in the Box
- 1 x Xerox 013R00650 charge corotron assembly (black drum position)
- Xerox instructions where supplied in the pack
What It Means in Practice
- Xerox rates it at approx. 190,000 pages for the black drum, based on 5-page jobs at 30% colour / 70% black on A4.
- It is fitted from the drum drawer: pull out the drawer, remove the old assembly and push the new one in until the amber casings click into place.
- Keep the corotron wire clean and avoid touching it during installation.
- Because black is used on almost every page, the K corotron usually falls due before the colour ones.
What Will Not Work
- It does not fit the cyan, magenta or yellow positions.
- It will not fix fusing faults (toner rubbing off), which point to the fuser module.
- It is not a drum cartridge; scratches or spots that repeat around the page usually mean the drum.
- It will not fit Versant or Colour 800/1000 presses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which corotron to order?
The machine names the position in its supplies or fault message. This part is only for the black (K) drum.
Can an operator fit it?
Yes. Xerox classes it as a CRU with a drum-drawer procedure.
Will it fix grey background on prints?
Often yes, if the black corotron is worn or dirty — background haze in black areas is a typical symptom.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
On these Xerox production colour machines the black corotron is one of the parts that keeps getting called for, because black runs on nearly every page. A spare on site avoids waiting on a part when the machine stops mid-job. See our
printer accessories and service parts for the matching fuser module and booklet staples.
✓ Buy it if your Colour 550/560/570, C60/C70, PrimeLink C9065/C9070 or Xerox 700 calls for the black charge corotron.
✕ Skip it if the machine is asking for a colour (C, M or Y) corotron or a drum cartridge.
→ Also consider Xerox 008R13065 fuser module for the same machines.
