....ok lets begin...
Things that you will need for the whole process:
Supplies:
*99% Alcohol
*Conductive Grease
*Cotton Swab
*Drum
*Lint-free Cloth
*Toner
*Wiper Blade
Tools:
*Drill
*3/32-inch Drill Bit
*Needle-nose Pliers
*Small, Flat-blade Screwdriver
*Phillips-head Screwdriver
*Utility Knife
Step 1
Place the cartridge on the workbench with
the toner hopper toward you. Open the
drum shutter and lift the right side of the
shutter. This will dislodge the drum shutter
from its cradle. (See Photo 1)
Step 2
Slide the shutter to the right to remove the
shutter post from the cradle. (See Photo 2)
Set the drum shutter aside. Do not lose
the tension spring found on the end of the
shutter. (See Photo 3)
Step 3
Flip the cartridge over so the drum is
facing up. (See Photo 4)
Step 4
Using a 3/32-inch drill bit, drill a
hole into the square holes on the
back of the waste hopper.
(See Photos 5 & 6)
Step 5
If the cartridge pins are
not pushed out the ends of the
cartridge, use a small, flat-blade
screwdriver to push the pins out
the end of the cartridge.
(See Photo 7) Grab the pins using
needlenose pliers and remove
the pins.
Step 6
Separate the two sections of the
cartridge. (See Photo 8)
Step 7
Using a utility knife, cut two small notches
in the plastic that surrounds the drum
contact axle. Photo 9 and Photo 10
Step 8
With needlenose pliers, grab the drum
contact axle and pull the axle out from the
end of the waste hopper. (See Photos 11)
Step 9
Carefully lift up on the non-gear end of the
drum and slide the drum out of the bearing
end cap. (See Photos 12) If the drum is
going to be reused, place it in a protected
area away from the light.
Step 10
Lift out the PCR. (See Photo 13) Clean the
PCR using mild soap and water.
Step 11
Remove the two screws holding the wiper
blade. (See Photo 14)
Step 12
Remove the wiper blade. (See Photo 15)
Clean the waste hopper using dry,
compressed air or a vacuum.
Step 13
Apply padding powder to the wiper
blade. Place the blade onto the waste
hopper and install the two screws that
hold the blade in place. (See Photo 16)
Step 14
Clean the PCR saddles using a cotton
swab and alcohol. Apply new conductive
grease to the black conductive saddle
and put the clean PCR into place.
(See Photo 17)
Step 15
Apply padding powder to the
drum. Install the drive gear
into the bearing end cap. Slide
the drum’s contact axle into
the end of the waste hopper.
(See Photo 18) Rotate the drum
to ensure that the drum
and wiper blade are properly
lubricated. Clean the padding
powder off the PCR using a
lint-free cloth. Set the waste
hopper aside in a protected area
away from the light.
Step 16
The gear housing end cap on
the toner hopper is sonically
welded to the toner hopper.
Place a small, flat-blade screwdriver
at the base of each plastic
weld and carefully pry up.
(See Photo 19)
Step 17
Using a 3/32 inch drill bit, drill a
hole into the gear housing end
cap where the two plastic welds
hold the end cap to the toner
hopper.
(See Photo 20)
Step 18
Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver
between the toner hopper
and the gear housing end cap
next to the sonic welds.
Carefully pry the end cap away
from the toner hopper.
(See Photo 21)
Step 19
Before the end cap can be removed,
Hewlett-Packard has also sonically welded
the alignment pin that holds the mag
roller stabilizing bar in place. This weld has
to be broken as well. Insert a flat-blade
screwdriver between the stabilizing bar
and the toner hopper. (See Photo 22)
Carefully pry the gear housing end cap
away from the toner hopper. Remove the
end cap.
Step 20
Remove the three gears from the end of
the cartridge, leaving the toner agitator
gear. (See Photo 23)
Step 21
Rotate the cartridge 180°. Remove the
two screws holding the contact end cap to
the toner hopper.
(See Photo 24)
Step 22
The alignment pin that holds the contact
end plate is sonically welded to the toner
hopper. Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver
between the contact plate and the
toner hopper. Carefully pry the contact
plate away from the toner hopper. (See
Photo 25)
Step 23
Carefully remove the mag roller from the
toner hopper. (See Photo 26)
Step 24
Remove the mag roller stabilizing bar,
and the mag roller bushings from the
ends of the mag roller. (See Photo 27)
Clean the mag roller first with compressed
air or a vacuum, then use a mag
roller cleaner. Clean the mag roller bushings
using alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
Step 25
Remove the two screws holding the doctor
blade. (See Photo 28)
Step 26
Remove the plastic scrapers from the
ends of the doctor blade and remove the
blade. (See Photo 29) Clean the doctor
blade using alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
Empty the remaining toner from the toner
hopper. Clean the toner hopper using dry,
compressed air or a vacuum.
Step 27
Remove the white plastic wall that is stuck
to the top of the mag roller opening using
a flat-blade screwdriver or a utility knife.
(See Photo 30)
Step 28
Remove the doctor blade end foams from
each side of the toner hopper.
(See Photo 31)
Fill the hopper with toner.
Step 29
Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver,
push the seal exit port
plug from the end of the toner
hopper. (See Photo 32) Carefully
clean the seal area. Once most
of the toner is removed from the
seal area, clean again using a
cotton swab and alcohol.
Step 30
Remove the seal liner from the
back of the seal and adhere the
seal to the toner hopper. Slide
the tail of the seal through the
seal exit port and reinstall the
seal exit port plug.
(See Photo 33)
Step 31
Install the doctor blade end
foams onto each side of the
toner hopper.
(See Photo 34)
Step 32
Install the clean or new doctor
blade onto the hopper. Place
the scrapers on each end of the
doctor blade and install the two
screws that hold the blade in
place.
(See Photo 35)
Step 33
Place the clean mag roller bushings onto
the end of the mag roller. The white bushing
goes on the gear end and the black
bushing goes on the contact end. Install
the mag roller stabilizing bar onto the gear
end of the mag roller and set the mag
roller into the toner hopper. (See Photo 36)
Step 34
Slide the tail of the seal through the contact
end cap and place the end cap into
position. Install the two screws that hold
the end cap in place. (See Photo 37)
Step 35
Place the three gears onto the end of the
cartridge. (See Photo 38)
Step 36
Install the gear housing end cap onto the
end of the toner hopper. Secure the end
cap with two screws.
(See Photos 39)
Step 37
Join the toner hopper and waste hopper
together. Install the two cartridge pins that
hold the cartridge together.
(See Photos 40 & 41)
Step 38
Place the drum shutter onto the waste
hopper so that the tension spring fits into
its slot. (See Photo 42) Press down on each
end to lock the drum shutter posts into
position. (See Photo 43)
Test the cartridge.
We will provide and tutorials for many more toner cartridges so keep you eye on us :-)
