Manual for Remanufacture of CF400A_201A_X Cartridge Destined for HP Color Laserjet Pro M 252_MFP 277 The cartridge has been remanufactured with the use of a new type of toner called "ColorSphere 3" and the new system "JetIntelligence". There is a protective cover of the drum in the cartridge. A special insert matched to the body and the carton has been used for safety during transport. A blade that distribute the toner powder (doctor blade) should be fixed with the use of a screwdriver with a left hand thread.

INTRODUCTION TONER ColorSphere 3 FIRM OUTER LAYER WAX POLYMER LOW MELTING POINT One of the factors degrading the properties of toners is constant friction of the particles during the life of the cartridge. As a protection against this process, the toner particle has been coated with an additional hard layer. The firm outer layer allows for the use of a soft polymer with a low melting point. The lower melting point ensures energy savings, increased printing speed, ability to handle thicker media. The manufacturer declares that this change can increase productivity by about 30 %.. THE FIRM OUTER LAYER ALLOWS FOR INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY JetIntelligence System TONER CONTAINER TRANSFER ROLLER MAGNETIC ROLLER DRUM (OPC) WIPER BLADE The new JetIntelligence programme is based on a completely new toner technology. System ColorSphere 3 is the result of a five-year HP investment program performed in collaboration with Canon. The new cartridge has a three - layered particle structure with a hard outer shell and a soft core with a much lower melting point than the "conventional" chemical toner which has a mono- spherical particle structure. MIXING MECHANISM DISTRIBUTION BLADE (DOCTOR BLADE) LASER BEAM CHARGE ROLLER (PCR) WASTE BOX The new toner allowed engineers to redesign the cartridge where there is now more space for the toner container, which results in higher printing performance and longer cartridge life, with fewer service interventions. The rearrangement of the cartridge allowed for downsizing the printer. Smaller size means less space for installation of equipment. The main benefit though is lower material costs in the manufacturing process.
The "JetIntelligence" includes: Print process monitoring technology Which uses intelligent algorithms to monitor printing process and predicts the cartridge life with more accuracy. Technology anti - fraud Which identifies counterfeit, remanufactured cartridges, prevents theft of the cartridge and can be used to enforce print policy. It is initiated by clients to manage costs and quality standards. Automatic removal of the seals This eliminates the need to remove the sealing when mounting the cartridge - the seal is removed automatically and the process of mixing toner begins. HP SureStart One of the new security features built into the HP new printers. It is based on the information stored in the BIOS. BIOS (acronym of Basic Input / Output System) - stored in non-volatile memory set of basic procedures mediating between the operating system and the equipment..
DISASSEMBLY. Dismantling of the cartridge 1. Remove the spring from the cartridge. 2. Lift the cover using a flat screwdriver. 3. Move the screwdriver a little and release the latch. 4. Remove the cover together with the contact pin of the drum.
5. Start to separate the two parts. On the drum gear is a small white latch that blocks the separation of the cartridge. Gently lift the container, separate cassette. 6. On the right is the toner waste container. On the left - toner container. DISMANTLING OF THE WASTE TONER CONTAINER 7. Pull out the drum from the body. 8. Remove the charge roller (PCR).
9. The wiper blade is fixed with two screws. 10. Loosen the screws and carefully separate the blade. The sealing strip may cause difficulty with the separation. Do it gently. 11. Clean the waste toner bottle and seals. 12. Follow all the steps in reverse order to step 7. Install a new wiper blade. Cover it with talc. Install the charge roller (PCR). Apply conductive grease on its ends. Install a new drum. Cover the drum with talc. Protect from light and set aside.
DISMANTLING OF THE TONER CONTAINER 13. Remove the two screws that secure the cover. 14. Under the cover is a clutch drive. Carefully detach the cover. 15. Gently separate the clutch, components as shown below.
16. Remove the two gears. 17. Pry the bracket in the indicated locations and remove from the body. 18. Remove both gears. 19. Remove the magnetic roller. At the ends of the roller are white wheel spacers and levelling element.
20. Remove the screws that secure the doctor blade. Note that the right side screw has a right-hand thread and a left side screw left hand thread. Loosen as the arrows dictate. 21. The blade is sealed with silicone and to remove her, gently lift one end until totally detached. 22. Now you can clean the toner container. The interior of the container contains a mixer mechanism, which greatly hinders its cleaning. To facilitate this task, pull out the foam feed roller. Clean the sponge thoroughly, it will increase its flexibility. 23. Pull out the seal from the blade s axle.
24. Grasp the axis of the feed roller and pull in the direction of the arrow. 25. After the ejection of the axis from the body, lift slightly the tip and place it on top of the body. 26. Grasp the end of the axis and slide out the roller. 27. After removing the roller you will get better access to the interior of the container. This will facilitate cleaning and refilling of the container.
28. n the course of cleaning and refilling of the container rotate the wheel of the mixing mechanism. 29. Fill the container with toner powder. 30. Assemble the container. Redo all the steps in reverse order to the point 13. When installing the doctor blade, use appropriate screws with left and right thread. Seal the joints with silicone and remove its excess. When installing the gear wheels use the non-conductive grease. When installing the developing roller make sure that the ends include appropriate elements. 31. Make an incision on the support, the lower arrow. Slide the chip to the left and install a new one.
ASSEMBLY OF CARTRIDGE ELEMENTS 32. When connecting the elements pay attention to the correct placement of the white tip of the drum s drive clutch. 33. Assemble the elements. 34. Picture of the coupling elements when assembled. 35. In the place indicated by the arrow apply a good quality doble-sided adhesive tape type: TDAC.01080C or glue. On the axis of the drum, apply conductive grease
36. Slide in the axis of the drum and close tight the body. 37. The body can also be fastened with a screw with PZ thread for destined for plastics 2,5X5 and the washer under the head. 38. Using a drill Ø 1,5 mm make a hole to a depth of 4mm. 39. Put the washer under the head of the screw and screw in the body.
40. Re-apply the spring. Install in the printer, make test copies. DISTANCE BETWEEN IDENTICAL CYCLICAL DEFECTS 11.0 MM (0.433 INCH) PAPER EXIT ROLLERS. 22.6 MM (0.89 INCH) DEVELOPING ROLLER.
