Steps 7 and 8:

Remove the drum shutter from the shutter hinges on both sides of the

cartridge. See Photo 7. Remove the drum shutter from the cradles on

both toner hopper end caps. See Photo 8. Separate the toner hopper and

waste hopper. Place the waste hopper aside out of the light.Place the toner

hopper so the developer roller is facing up with the gears on the right.

Step 9:

Remove the two screws holding the doctor blade. See Photo 9.

Step 10:

Carefully lift the doctor blade from the gear end of the toner hopper.

See Photo 10.

Note: The doctor blade is held in place by a tacky sealing material. Clean

the doctor blade first using dry, compressed air. Place the doctor blade

into a cleaning fixture and clean the blade using a dry, lint-free cloth. If

toner buildup is present on the blade, use a small amount of alcohol to

clean the blade.

Lift out the developer roller. See Photo 16. Remove the white developer

roller bushing from the ends of the roller. Clean the developer roller using

dry, compressed air and a lint-free cloth.

Step 17:

Remove the supply roller sealing end foams from the axle of the supply

roller on each side of the toner hopper. See Photo 17.

Step 18:

Using a 3/4˝ hole saw with a stop collar, drill a hole into the top of the

through the seal exit port plug. See Photo 20.

Step 21:

Install the seal exit port plug. See Photo 21.

Step 22:

Fill the toner hopper through the hole on top of the hopper. Seal the ho

using a seal cover. See Photo 22.

Step 24:

Place the developer roller end cap onto the gear side of the toner hopper.

Install the screw that holds the end cap in place. See Photo 24.

Step 25:

Install the developer roller bushings onto the developer roller. Slide the

gear end of the developer roller through the end cap. See Photo 25.

Step 26:

Place the contact end cap onto the end of the toner hopper. Install the two

screws that hold the end cap to the hopper.See Photo 26.

Step 27:Using a cotton swab and alcohol, clean the OEM sealant where the ends

of the doctor blade sit on the toner hopper. See Photo 27.

Step 28:

Place the doctor blade onto the toner hopper. Gently press down on th

doctor blade and install the two screws that hold the doctor blade

place. See Photo 28.

Note: If the doctor blade is not pressed down and in the correct positio

the cartridge will print light.

Reusing the OEM Waste Hopper without Removing the Drum

Step 29:

Using dry, compressed air, blow air between the drum and the recove

blade. This will force air and waste toner out from the back side of th

wiper blade. See Photo 29. Continue to clean the hopper until all th

toner is removed from the waste hopper; this may take several minute

Clean the PCR using a dry,soft cloth while rotating the drum. Make su

the PCR is totally clean.

Step 30:

If needed,silicon can be added to the back side of the wiper blade to he

prevent leaking. See Photo 30.

Using a New Aftermarket Waste Hopper

Note: When using a new aftermarket waste hopper, the PCR from th

OEM hopper must be utilized. Break the cartridge handle off the OE

waste hopper. Remove the drum and PCR from the waste hopper. Clea

the OEM PCR using a dry, lint-free cloth.

Steps 31 and 32:

Apply yellow toner to the wiper blade and place the wiper blade onto thwaste hopper. See Photo 31. Install the two screws that hold the wip

blade. See Photo 32.

Step 33:

Put a small amount of conductive grease onto the black contact PCR sad-

dle.See Photo 33. Place the clean PCR into the saddles.

Step 34:

Place the drum bushing end cap onto the side of the waste hopper. Install

the two screws that hold the end cap in place. See Photo 34.

Step 35:

Place the drum non-gear insert into the drum bushing end cap on the

contact side of the waste hopper (the side with the black PCR saddle).See

Photo 35.

Step 36:

Apply yellow toner to the drum. Slide the drive hub end of the drum into

the drum bushing end cap on the gear side of the waste hopper.

See Photo 36.

Insert the metal cartridge pin on the contact side of the cartridge.

See Photo 38.

Step 39:
