SAMSUNG ML 2250 TONER CARTRIDGE

These images show different views of the cartridge, basically the 2250 series are a bit flatter than other
Samsungs.
These cartridges do not have a drum cover, and come new with a piece of heavy paper taped around the
cartridge. All new cartridges opened so far have shown some toner leakage on the drum that would have
shown on any prints.

First released in July 2004, the Samsung ML-2250 printers are based on a 22ppm, 1200dpi engine.
These cartridges are very similar to the ML-1750, but there are differences. The main difference is that
some of the ML-1750 cartridges have a fuse to reset the printer. The ML-2250 cartridges use a series of dif-
ferent chips. The actual ML-2250 doesn’t use anything but all the rest so far use a special chip. A chart
below will list all the different variations.

The standard cartridge (Samsung part# ML-2250D5/XAA) comes new with 120g toner, and is rated for
5,000 pages at 5% coverage. Other brands based on the 2250 have a low yield cartridge rated for 3,000
pages. They are also listed in the chart below. In some cases, the cartridges do not have the branded part
number on them. For those cases, we have listed the part numbers that are on the cartridge label (Samsung
manufacturing code):

1. Place the cartridge with the handle facing up. Remove the
five top cover screws.
2. On the front edge of the cartridge, there are two tabs. Press
these two tabs in, and lift the front edge of the cover up.
3. Next to the handle of the cartridge to the right and left, there
are two more plastic tabs. GENTLY press them in, and remove
the cover.
CAUTION: The upper half of the toner hopper is being removed.
If there is a lot of toner left in the hopper, it can dump out all
over! Vacuum the hopper clean.
4. With the toner hopper away from you, remove the four
screws on the left side end cap. Remove the end cap.

5. Remove the four screws on the right side end cap. Remove the end cap.
6. Remove the PCR. 7. Also on the right side there is a series of gears under the end
cap. Make a note of the location of each gear, and remove
them.
Clean the PCR with your normal PCR cleaner.
WARNING: Do not clean the OEM PCR with alcohol, as this will
remove the conductive coating from the roller. If the PCR is an
aftermarket, follow the cleaning methods recommended by
the manufacturer. If the PCR is an OEM, we recommend it be
cleaned with your standard PCR cleaner.

9. With the PCR cleaner assembly removed, the drum can eas-
ily be removed by lifting it out.
Clean out any remaining toner from the cartridge.
10. Press in on the bottom tab of the developer roller plate
(right gear side) to release it.
8. There are two screws on the PCR cleaner assembly. Remove them and gently pry the blade up. Be careful not to damage the
alignment pins. This PCR cleaner also has what can be considered a wiper blade. It is a very flimsy blade attached to the metal
bar. Wipe this blade down with a clean lint free cloth before re-installing.
It is very important that the PCR cleaner be cleaned. Vacuum or blow off any residual toner from the foam/felt.

11. With a small common screwdriver, press the entire plate
towards the edge of the developer roller cavity, and lift up. The
plate should come loose.
12. Gently pry out the roller plate from the cartridge. The foam
seal, and possibly a plastic flat washer will come out with it. Be
careful not to damage the foam seal, or loose the flat washer.
13. Remove the developer roller. Be careful not to damage or
lose the flat washers on the roller.
14. It is highly recommended that the doctor blade be cleaned.
Failure to do so will cause streaking. The doctor blade can be
cleaned with out removing it. Dampen a cotton swab with alco-
hol, and clean the blade. Be careful not to press too hard and
damage the blade. If the blade has a heavy buildup of toner on
it, clean it with acetone, and then alcohol. Removing the blade
is difficult because of the foam seals attached. If the seals are
torn, the cartridge will leak. That is why we do not recommend
it. Once replacement doctor blades are available, they will
have to come with replacement foam.

15. Replace the developer roller, and flat washers. 16. If no grease is left on the gears and gear shafts, or it is
contaminated with toner clean it all off. Replace it with white
lithium grease. Be sure to clean and grease the gear shafts,
and inside the gear.
17. Install the roller plate. Make sure the tab is locked in place. 18. Replace the roller plate and seven gears. Look carefully at
the picture of the gears. Each gear must fit in this exact way.
The gears labeled in order of installation.

21. Clean the conductive grease off the left side (non gear)
end cap and replace with fresh grease. Replace the end cap
and four screws.

rect side and that the shaft is in the PCR holder.

23. Install the right side end cap, and 4 screws. Make sure the
PCR fits correctly in its holder, and all the gears are aligned.
24. Fill the hopper with the appropriate amount of toner.
This can also be done through the fill plug, but the fill plug
tends to leak and will probably have to be sealed with silicon.
25. Replace the chip. Make sure the chip you install is the cor-
rect one for the machine it is to be installed in. New reset
boxes are now available that can change the personality of the
chip across the full line. This will enable you to test the car-
tridge in your test machine, and than change the chip to work
in your customer’s machine if different.
