1. Place the cartridge on its
top with the drum away from
you; locate the two springs
that secure the toner hopper
to the cartridge shell (Fig.1).
Using a spring removal tool
unhook the springs from the
left and right sides of the
toner hopper (Fig.1a).

2. Remove the developer roller
drive gear (Fig. 2).

3. Lift the tabs on the top of the
cartridge and pry the sides of the
cartridge shell outward to free the
retaining pins on the left and right
sides of the toner hopper (Fig. 3)
Lift the toner hopper back and up
to remove.

4. With the OPC facing up, remove the e-ring from the shaft at the geared end of the
OPC (Fig.4). Now gently pull the drum shaft out from the non-geared end of the
OPC until it is free of the cartridge (Fig.4a). The OEM OPC has a spring clutch
designed to prevent the OPC from rotating backwards, when using after market
drums remove the spring from the OEM and place on the after market OPC. Protect
the OPC from light, as it is photconductive and can be damaged by overexposure to
light.

Note: During reassembly insert the drum shaft through the OPC gear end first. This
will prevent any damage to the drum contact.

5. Locate and remove the two screws on the wiper blade (Fig. 5).
Invert the cartridge (right side up) to locate and remove the Mylar
strip across the top of the wiper blade. The Mylar strip prevents
leakage over the top of the wiper blade. Clean, inspect and lubricate
the blade. Replace if necessary. Vacuum excess toner from the waste
hopper carefully to avoid damaging the recovery blade. If removal
of the recovery blade is required, lift one corner and slowly remove
it from the surface of the waste hopper. Remove all residual
adhesive from the surface area. To install a new recovery blade, peel
the backing and apply it to the area ensuring there are no creases.
Clean waste bin of all residual toner and assemble in reverse order.

6. Remove the doctor bar tension spring by pulling the two out
swept arms away from the cartridge (Fig.6).

7. Using a pair of needle nose pliers, remove the developer roller
retaining bushing by gently pulling it of the end of the developer
roller (Fig.7).

8. Remove the developer roller
from the cartridge by lifting the
right side slightly and pulling the
roller to the right while gently
rotating the roller back and forth
until it is free (Fig.8).

9. Retain the flat, white Mylar spacers from
each end of the roller for use during
reassembly (Fig.9). Clean and inspect the
developer roller.

10.In the development area, there are two black Mylar strips
behind and below the developer roller (Fig.10). Inspect these strips
carefully. There is also a coarse foam toner roller in the
development area. Gently blow off the roller with compressed air
to remove all residual toner.

11. In the development area, there are two black Mylar strips
behind and below the developer roller. Inspect these strips
carefully. If damaged, peel them off the cartridge and remove all
residual toner. When replacing affix the inner Mylar first then the
outer. Also in the development area there are two white rubber
saddles that the developer roller rotates on, one on each end of the
hopper opening. If these channels are damaged or worn, toner
leakage from the end of the developer roller may occur (Fig.11).

12. Remove the hopper cap to clean the inside of the toner
hopper. Use caution when vacuuming to avoid the agitator inside
the toner hopper (Fig.12). Fill toner hopper with the correct gram
load of toner and reassemble the hopper in reverse order.

13. The Optra M cartridge has no
shutter door to protect the OPC during
shipping. The OEM cartridge comes
with a protective foam (Fig.13) that
covers the OPC and is secured by the
shipping lock (Fig.13a). If the OEM
foam is not available to use, it is
suggested that you use some type of
pad foam to prevent damage to the
OPC when shipping. Also be sure to
use the shipping lock. The shipping
lock secures the hopper to the
cartridge shell preventing movement
witch can also cause damage to the
OPC during shipping (Fig.13b).
