5. Lift up on the hopper and separate from the waste bin.

6. Holding the waste bin, push the corona wire assembly to the left until it's pins

separate from their holes, and lift up and to the right to remove.

7. Pull back the shutter door and hold it open, then remove the screw holding

the drum axle in and remove the drum axle being careful not to drop or dis-

lodge the drum (Fig. 2). Now lift the drum by it's small gear, twist clockwise

and remove.

the small mylar scavenger blade.

10. Wipe off any residue toner from the wiperblade, inspect for nicks, gouges etc.

replace if necessary. Pad lightly with padding powder and re-install onto the

wastebin. This is the time to install a drum protector pad on the shutter. Set

the waste bin aside.

11. Clean the corona wire assembly thoroughly!! Clean the wire, the side walls

and the felt pads. This unit MUST be clean! There are two industry methods

of cleaning this assembly, manual and ultrasonic. The manual method re-

quires using a Scotchbrite® pad. Use a small piece of the pad and gently

move the pad up and down the length of the wire. The ultrasonic method re-

quires placing the entire corona assembly in an ultrasonic solution. Set the

assembly aside.

12. Remove the cap from the toner hopper. Dump any remaining toner from the

hopper and use compressed air or a vacuum to remove all residual toner.

Inspect the surface of the mag roller for scratches or signs of wear and

replace if necessary. Do not touch the surface of the mag roller with your

bare hands, skin oils will cause image problems. We recommend gapping the

doctor blade to .010.

13. Once the hopper has been cleaned, insert your seal and then coat the mag

roller with some of the toner you will be using to fill the hopper. Next, fill the

hopper and replace the hopper cap.
