How to empty toner waste bottle on MP C300

**FrohnB** · 11-08-2019

We actually have a tech at one of our other branches that takes a hole saw with his drill and punches a hole through one side of the bottle to empty it, and then just puts some tape over the hole when he's finished. Has been doing it for a while, never any problems. Not saying to do it, but just saying I've seen it done.

Clever! I can consider this a WTB hack

WHEN I had a bunch of the mpc300/mpc401 machines getting ready to go be sold and seemed all had full waste boxes.

So I took a 1 1/4 hole saw and drilled slowly on the lower "fat" corner.
Once cut thru i saved the circle and dumped all toner in a closed bag..yes it is still messy.
used my 3m vac to clean outside..there is a plastic extra piece inside once you cut the hole that separates chambers.
Then i use my hot glue gun to reassemble it..
