On all toner cartridges and drum units it is best to vacuum them out before you refill them, if they have never been refilled before. To get more toner, drums or any other items needed go to All Supplies at the top of this page.

FULL REFILL ON THIS TONER CARTRIDGE

Separate the Cartridge Halves.

1.) Remove the pins that hold the cartridge halves together (one on each side). If the pins are protruding from the cartridge, pull them out with pin pliers. If not, turn the cartridge over and use a jeweler's screwdriver to push the pins inward until the halves can be separated.

Note: The inverted position prevents the pins from falling onto the surface of the drum. To simplify later
pin removal, you can replace with a headed pin. Fig, A Set aside the toner hopper unit.

2.) Use pliers to remove the flat head drum axle at the gearless end of the drum and gently pull the drum out and away from the other drum axle. Once the drum is removed, push out the remaining axle. Inspect the drum for defects. (If new drum needed we have them here.) If the drum appears to be intact, gently clean with compressed air and a soft cloth.

3.) Grasp each shaft end of the PCR and lift it from the saddle clips. Use compressed air to remove residual toner from the surface of the PCR and inspect for defects. Replace if defected, we have them here. If the PCR is intact, wipe the surface and a clean, lint-free cloth.

4.) Locate and remove the two screws holding the wiper blade in place. Use compressed air or vacuum to remove excess toner, and inspect for wear/defects. You may also use a lint-free cloth saturated with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to remove any residual toner from the blade. If the wiper blade is damaged, replace it, and we have them here.

5.) Empty out the remaining toner from the wastebin. Remove residual toner with compressed air or vacuum; be careful not to damage the recovery blade. If the recovery blade is kinked, nicked, or loose, replace it. Clean the PCR saddle clips with swabs saturated with 99% IPA.

6.) Reinstall the wiper blade and PCR. Lubricate the drum with padding powder and place it into the cartridge. Replace the drum axles and rotate the drum against the wiper blade to lubricate it. Use compressed air to remove excess powder and set the drum unit aside.

7.) Locate and remove the screws holding the end caps on (one on each side). Pull off the caps and note the gear position for reassembly. Grasp each end of the magnetic roller and gently lift it from the lift the hopper unit. Use compressed air or vacuum to remove toner from the mag roller, and wipe off any residual toner with a lint-free cloth. RP'S Ink And Toners does not recommend using any type of solvent to clean the mag roller. Do not touch the coated area of the mag roller with bare hands. Set the mag roller aside on a clean cloth.

8.) Remove the hopper plug and vacuum out the remaining toner. Locate and remove the two screws securing the doctor blade in place. Clean the blade with a lint-free cloth and inspect for wear/damage. Replace if necessary.

9.) Replace the doctor blade (2 screws), developer roller, gears, and gear end cap. Hold the developer roller in place at the hopper plug end to stop leakage and fill with new toner. Then reinstall the hopper plug and end cap.

10.) Join the cartridge halves together and reinsert pins.
