In fact, refilling toner is not difficult, you can do it by yourself. Today I will tell you in detail how to refill toner.
This article will introduce in detail the methods and steps for refilling toner, to help you deal with this easily.
1. Preparation work before refilling toner powder
Before refilling toner, the following preparations are required:
1) Confirm the printer model:
The methods and steps of refilling toner for different models of laser printers may vary.
Please consult the printer manual or official website to learn about your printer model and the specific operation method for refilling toner.
2) Prepare toner powder:
Buy the right toner for your printer model to ensure the quality and compatibility of the toner.
3) Preparation tools:
Prepare the tools you need in advance depending on the printer model and the specific steps for refilling toner.
2. Steps to refill toner
The following are the general steps for adding toner toner to laser printers. The specific operation depends on your printer model:
1) Disconnect the power supply:
To avoid accidental damage to the printer, make sure to turn off the printer’s power before starting the operation.
2) Open the printer cover:
Depending on the printer model, open the front or side cover to remove the cartridge.
3) Remove the toner cartridge:
Hold and remove the toner cartridge from the printer.
4) Clean up waste powder:
Find the waste powder on the toner cartridge and pour out the waste toner. There may be a lot of waste powder, so you have to shake the cartridge to make sure it is clean. Then use a cleaning cloth to wipe the toner bin to clean up the remaining waste powder and dust.
5) Refill new toner:
Find the powder injection port and open the lid or plug. Pour the new toner slowly in. To avoid dust, you can cover a small funnel in the bottle mouth. If the powder mouth is on the side, tilt the toner cartridge slightly to prevent the toner from overflowing.
6) Evenly distribute toner:
After refilling toner, gently shake the cartridge to allow the toner to be evenly distributed. If the printer has a stirring device, follow the instructions to allow the toner to be fully mixed.
7) Cleaning and sealing:
Wipe the surface of the cartridge with a tissue or rag to ensure there is no excess toner. Then check whether the powder injection port is sealed well. If not, use sealing tape to reinforce it.
8) Install the toner cartridge:
Replace the toner cartridge back to the printer to ensure that all parts are in good contact. Then, operate in reverse in the order of disassembly and close the printer cover.
9) Test printing:
Plug in the power cord, turn on, and then type in a test page to see the effect. If there is color difference, powder leakage or unclear handwriting, it may be that the powder is filled or the seal is poor, so you have to re-check and adjust it.
3. Things to note
1) During operation, please pay attention to moderate strength to avoid damaging the printer parts.
2) When refilling toner, try to do it in a well-ventilated environment to avoid inhaling toner.
3) Wear anti-static gloves and masks throughout the process to reduce the damage caused by static electricity and toner to the body.
4) Put some old newspapers or plastic bags on the workbench to prevent toner from getting everywhere.
5) Toner is flammable, please stay away from fire sources and high temperature environments.
6) To ensure printing results, we recommend you to use original or high quality compatible toner.
4. Conclusion
Through the above steps, I believe you have mastered the method of refilling toner.
When the printer runs out of toner, you might as well try filling powder by yourself, which can save costs and improve office efficiency.
