    it's too hard to clean successfully?
    That's the concern.

    After cleaning the edge which touches the drum (wiping off dry only!) must the edge be primed with toner otherwise the cleaningblade will bind to the surface of the drum causing damage to the drumsurface. Also a new cleaning blade must be treated this way.

    Thanks Hans,

    The manual explains the procedure for how and where to put toner on the drum before use in the case of a new drum and/or cleaning blade. I'll be sure to follow that procedure closely and maybe also brush a little toner on the cleaning blade edge as well just in case.

    Cheers,

    Frankie.

    Just a note of caution....been a long time since I touched one of these machines....

    When cleaning the developer unit itself, remove the ATDC sensor. That sensor is a small rectangular device with a single connector on the bottom side of the unit. The sensor is extremely sensitive to static, and cleaning the unit will produce copious amounts of static, especially if you use a vacuum. And of course, it goes without saying that when you replace the starter, be sure to put the sensor back in first...unless you like a mess on the table.

    And another caution, remove all the sponges before you vacuum....

    And as for the vacuum, use a decent quality bagged type....if you can get one, a vacuum that is designed for toner is ideal. Cyclone or bagless, you are looking at a potential major dust storm. Some vacuum bags will allow some dust, but those are far better than no bag at all.

    Thanks Stirton, I did remove the ADTC sensor before vacuuming, fortunately the manual had that warning in it as well. My vacuum is a good bag vacuum and it seemed to handle the job just fine.

    Hans, yes there is a long sponge seal around the top of the developing chamber that seals against the lid. And sure enough, I didn't notice it and it got sucked up! Fortunately though it was still in the top of the vacuum cleaner hose when I recovered it and it was totally undamaged. It was also very clean, ha ha!

    Thanks guys!

    Frankie.

    Perhaps the magnetic roller is not rotating properly. Try checking the gear and its axis. If the flow of toner from the bottle into the imaging unit is blocked, usually, the heating time is very long and you'll get a message please add toner or toner bottle is empty. And even if it can print, suddenly interrupted by the heating process again.
