THIS CARTRIDGE DOES NOT HAVE THE OPC DRUM UNIT INTEGRATED.  THERE IS A SEPERATE DRUM UNIT WHICH IS A REPLACEABLE MAINTENANCE ITEM.

 

Not Recognizing

 

Verify they have the correct drum unit for their specific model printer.

 

This cartridge uses a RF or radio frequency sensor chip that’s located under the plastic tab in the middle of the cartridge. This chip does not make physical contact with the printer but rather sits in a specific position to be picked up by the printer’s sensor. Make sure that the cartridge is properly inserted and locks into place to ensure the chip is in the correct position. If the problem persists it is most likely an issue with the chip on the cartridge.

 

To remove and install this toner cartridge into a Xerox WorkCentre 133 printer do the following;

–          Pull the front cover towards you to open it.  Pull the toner cartridge out until you can lift the handle on top of the cartridge.

 

–          Hold the handle and remove the cartridge from the machine.

 

–          Place the new cartridge in position and slide it into the machine until it clicks.

 

–          Close the front cover.

 

Print Quality Issues

 

Roll the cartridge several times to loosen the toner powder inside the cartridge.

 

Almost all ghost imaging, streaking, lines, and duplicating image defects will be a result of a problem with the drum unit.  The drum unit is a maintenance item that will need to be changed out after around 4-6 toner changes.

 

This toner is pretty basic and almost all print quality issues will be drum or printer related.  The toner cartridge simply releases toner powder into the drum unit via a shutter on the bottom of the cartridge that is opened when the cartridge is pushed into the printer.

 

Not Fitting

 

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