The opening leads to a toner reservoir. You should then be able to pour the powder into the gap using the included funnel. Feel free to make a panel funnel in case one was not included in the refill kit and use it to direct the toner powder. Fill the reservoir until it begins to overflow. Move the nozzle from one side to another to make the toner even. Next , clean the roller, snap it back into place, and thoroughly wipe down the surrounding area to remove any excess powder.
Finally , reassemble the body parts and end the plates. All parts should snap back into place smoothly with minimal force. Then , clean stray toner discovered in the crevasses and reinsert back all screws. Once the toner cartridge is reassembled, ensure that the drum rotates smoothly. They include a special puncture bit that can be placed in a common drill even though some people use soldering irons. With these tools, the user must make a hole toward the rear of the cartridge where the toner reservoir is.
After the hole is made, the toner powder should be poured straight in with the funnel. Finally about this, the opening should be sealed with duct tape or a purpose-made plug. Some cartridges have an additional refill step. This is the level circuitry.

So, does anyone have any experience using, say, HP toner in a Ricoh printer? I've been using digital presses for over 2 decades, but I've never tried this. Has anyone? Thanks for great article, I need to replace the toner on my Brother HL-LD but have had no luck in finding the bottled toner, except for a place in the U.
Question 2 years ago. Make a hole??? There is a cap to open and refill. Is in the side where you have gears. In next refill you must turn them to make printer think if full so why you destroy cartridge?
Reply 2 years ago. Because in order to get to the cap you have to carefully remove and replace the gears covering the cap. And you might have to have an additional new part as well.
Really nice pictures in this 'ible. Good job! Just a bit of warning for your health: Be sure to wear a mask and do not 'blow the toner with your breath. Get the best grade of mask you can get, ask at a paint supply company. I had a Cannon printer that required a new chip on the cartridge after refilling. By hyperfocused72 Follow. More by the author:.

Shake the cartridge lightly from side to side, holding horizontally, to ensure even distribution of the toner powder. Reinstall the cartridge in your printer or other device. Replace the smart chip if your cartridge requires this extra step. Some printers will not work after a toner powder refill unless a new smart chip fuse is installed. Most toner refill kits come with a smart chip if it is needed for your cartridge. Try turning the toner around. Also, make sure you've removed all of the toner's packaging, but that the barcode is still intact.
The barcode tells the printer that there is a new toner cartridge in, so it needs to be there. If nothing works, restart the printer. Yes No. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 2.

The shiny, necessarily thinly-coated imaging drum that the laser sensitizes to transfer ink to the page will eventually wear out, as may other mechanical parts, although often not until after several refills of a small, few-thousand-pages cartridge or a couple of a large, several-thousand-pages cartridge.
For optimum refillable cartridge, buy a "rebuilt", "remanufactured", aftermarket new or usually overpriced printer-brand cartridge, which normally has a fresh drum and arrives neatly sealed to prevent mess in transit. A "refilled" one is usually just that, likely with some wear already and not uniformly checked for good present quality.
If blobs and streaks appear on the page, the toner cartridge's refill seal may have failed. Clean well around the hole with a damp paper towel, then seal with tape, preferably flue tape, rubbed down well all around.
Wipe out masses of spilled toner from inside the printer with a paper towel; don't use a vacuum unless it takes disposable bags. Make a few prints to remove small lingering residues. If a cheap color laser printer's multi-toner-cartridge carousel jams, research instructions to disengage its clutch and spin it freely to remove the offending cartridge.
Then be sure the refill repair is smooth and the cartridge is inserted properly. If you refill a "smart chipped" cartridge before it is completely empty, and can't fit all of the new toner inside, wait until the chip reports an error or you have depleted the existing toner sufficient to accommodate the new so you don't run out the chip before the toner.
