If the cartridge that is being refilled came with the printer, it does not have the flag gear necessary to reset the toner level in
the machine. This cartridge cannot be successfully refilled.
If you have a new cartridge, either compatible or OEM, they can be refilled:
To reset the toner level try the following method:
- Remove two screws and cover plate.
- The black gear shown above may fall off when the plate is removed.
3. Make sure the gear and the spring remain in eyesight. This gear and spring are not on the starter cartridge which does not allow the to
be refilled.
4. Place the spring back on the cartridge as shown above. The circular section of the spring fits into the base of the shaft.
5. When placing the gear on the shaft the teeth should mesh with the gear next to it.
6. Place the plate back on the cartridge and replace the two screws.
