THIS IS A TONER THAT HAS THE IMAGING DRUM BUILT INTO THE CARTRIDGE ITSELF AND IS REPLACED AS ONE WHOLE UNIT.  THERE IS NO SEPARATE DRUM.

 

Not Recognizing

 

Verify that you have the correct cartridge for your specific printer model.

 

There is no smart chip on this toner cartridge so it is important to make sure the cartridge is installed correctly and is fully inserted into the printer.

 

To remove and install this cartridge into a Samsung ML-2250 printer do the following;

–          Grasp the front cover and pull toward you to open.

 

–          Pull the toner cartridge and remove it from the printer.

 

–          Insert the new toner cartridge into the printer using the built in rails to help guide the cartridge into place.  Ensure that the toner cartridge snaps into place.

 

–          Close the front cover.  Make sure that the cover is securely closed.  If it is not firmly closed, printing errors may occur when you print.

 

Print Quality Issues

 

There is a piece of paper held on by tape that protects the OPC drum which must be removed prior to installation.

 

Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side 5-6 times to redistribute the toner.

 

If the toner is smearing off the paper or isn’t adhering properly, make sure the paper settings on the printer match the paper type being used.  Thicker paper, such as labels or bonded paper, require a different paper setting to allow more heating while printing to ensure the toner melts properly to the paper.  Trying to print on thicker paper while under that standard paper setting will cause the toner not to get enough heat to melt properly.

 

The OPC drum is located on the bottom of the cartridge.  Visually check for scratches or debris on the drum.  Do not touch the OPC drum.  If need be, clean the OPC drum using a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.  Do not use moisture of any kind.  There is no protective drum shutter on this cartridge to protect the OPC drum so caution must be taken in handling this cartridge to prevent damage to the drum.  Be careful with setting the cartridge down on a surface because being that the OPC drum is located on the bottom of the cartridge it can easily be scratched or nicked.

 

Leaking

 

This toner does not have any pull seal tabs and as a result a little toner dust on the cartridge is normal.  The protective paper cover that covers the OPC drum has a piece of foam that covers the drum to help collect any loose toner dust.  However, vibrations during shipping may cause the roller to rotate a little and allow a little toner powder to leak.  This is normal.  You can clean excess toner dust off the cartridge by gently wiping the cartridge with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth or gently blowing on it.  Be careful with compressed air as this may blow too powerfully and blow toner powder out of the cartridge.  Do NOT use moisture of any kind.

 

Not Fitting

 

Verify you have the correct cartridge for your specific printer model.  Check inside the printer for any obstructions which may be causing the cartridge not to fit.  Check the cartridge itself for physical damage.
