1Open the printer’s front door, grasp the waste toner bottle’s handle, and
pull the waste toner bottle outward and upward.
2Carefully remove the waste toner bottle.
Keep the waste toner bottle upright
while the openings are not covered,
so the toner does not spill.

counterclockwise.

openings by turning them 

Repacking the Printer8
2Grasp the release lever on the OPC drum
cartridge, and then pull the cartridge
straight out about 6 inches (152 mm).
Attention
The OPC drum is extremely sensitive
to bright light and direct sunlight. Any
exposure to light should be avoided, or
permanent damage could result.
Any damage resulting from mis-
handling of the OPC drum will void the warranty of the OPC drum.
Also, handle the cartridge carefully by its sides so you don’t touch
the surface (the green part) of the drum. The drum is also extremely
sensitive to hand oils and scratches, both of which reduce print
quality.
3Support the bottom of the drum with your
hand, then carefully pull the cartridge
toward you and remove it.
4Place the OPC drum cartridge in the
protective bag supplied in the repacking
kit (magicolor 2300 Series Repacking Kit

4Replace the packaging and
tape, then close the front door.
G. Insert the Fuser Separators
Attention
The fuser separators keep the two long rollers inside the fuser from
maintaining continuous contact. To protect the fuser unit and ensure
future print quality, it is very important that the fuser separators be
reinstalled in the printer if it is to be shipped or if it is to be turned off
and/or stored for more than six weeks.
