Note: Please make certain the printer is powered

“ON” throughout the entire rell procedure. Failure to

do so may cause the printer to be unable to identify

that the cartridge has been relled.

Step 1: Prepare your work surface

Included in the ReChargXTM RX350 premium print

toner rell kit is a sheet of newsprint (Figure 1).

Unfold the sheet and lay it across your work surface.

The newsprint keeps your work surface clean and is

discarded after completing the relling process.

Step 2: Position the drum unit and toner

cartridge assembly

When you remove the cartridge from your printer the

drum unit will still be attached.

Position the assembly on your work surface so the

handle on the front of the toner cartridge (A) is facing

you and the green or blue tab (B) is on the left-hand

side (Figure 2).

Step 3: Separate the toner cartridge from the

drum unit assembly

Press and hold down the green or blue tab (A)

located on the left-hand side of the unit while lifting

up on the handle of the front of the toner cartridge

with your right hand (B) to separate the toner

cartridge from the drum unit (Figure 3).

Lift the toner cartridge up and off of the drum unit.

Note: Since the drum in the drum unit can be easily

scratched or damaged, put it out of harm’s way until

we are completely nished with the relling operation.

Step 4: Prepare the cartridge for relling

Position the cartridge on your work surface so the

handle (A) is facing toward you and the developer

roller (B) is facing away from you (Figure 4).

Step 5: Protect the developer roller

The developer roller along the front of the cartridge is

critical to the image production process and can be

damaged even by a ngerprint.

To protect the roller during relling we will cover it

with a sheet of paper.

Start with a piece of paper in “portrait” orientation,

then fold the 8.5” X 11” sheet in half (folding the

top edge over to meet the bottom edge) leaving an

8.5” X 5.5” sheet.

With the cartridge face up tape one of the long 8.5”

edges to the top of the cartridge (Figure 5-1).

Carefully fold the paper over the developer roller

(again, being careful not to touch the roller with your

ngers) and tape the other edge of the paper to the

bottom of the cartridge (Figure 5-2).

Step 6: Remove the cartridge end cap

Position the cartridge on your work surface so the

black plastic end cap (which covers the internal gears

of the cartridge) is facing upward and the handle of

the cartridge is on the right-hand side (Figure 6-1).

You now have access to the two screws which

secure the end cap to the cartridge (highlighted by

the arrows in Figure 6-1).

Using the phillips-head screwdriver remove the two

phillips-head screws (Figure 6-2 and Figure 6-3) and

set them aside for later use.

After removing the two phillips-head screws, lift the

black end cap up and away from the cartridge body

to expose the gear train and set the end cap aside.

Brother uses a “page counting” mechanism (a

combination of gears and “ags”) to report to the

printer when the cartridge is either full or used.

Before we begin the rell procedure we will address

the components of the reset mechanism that either

have to be removed or replaced.

Without properly resetting/addressing these

mechanisms, even after the cartridge has been

relled the cartridge would still appear to the printer

as being empty resulting in a false “toner low” or

“toner empty” message.

Although the starter, standard-yield, and high-yield

toner cartridges are fundamentally the same, each

requires a slightly different process to reset the page

counting mechanism.

Skip forward to the appropriate page for the reset

procedures specic to your cartridge.

If you are working on a TN starter/introductory

cartridge (the cartridge included with the printer)

proceed to page 5 and follow steps 7a-7c.

If you are working on a TN-630 standard-yield

cartridge proceed to page 6 and follow steps 8a-8e.

If you are working on a TN-660 high-yield or

converted TN starter or TN-630 cartridge, proceed

to page 8 and follow steps 9a-9e.

Figure 7-1 shows the gear end of the TN starter

cartridge (the cartridge that came with the machine

when it was new) with the end cap removed.

The components you will be removing are the drive

gear (A), actuator gear (B) and toner hopper plug (C).

Step 7a: Remove the drive gear

To prepare for the resetting of the starter toner

cartridge and its conversion into the equivalent of the

high-yield cartridge, we start by removing the drive

gear (A) (Before: Figure 7-1; After: Figure 7-2).

Step 7b: Remove the actuator gear

With the drive gear removed, we can remove the

actuator gear (B) from the gear train (Before: Figure

tip of a at-blade screwdriver between the lip of the

toner hopper opening and the toner hopper plug.

Then pry the plug up and out (Figure 7-4).

Now that we have removed the starter gears and

toner hopper plug, proceed to page 10 to continue

the process.

Figure 10-2: Dumping out the remaining toner

Preparing the cartridges for relling and resetting

Step 10: Remove the remaining toner

Prior to adding “fresh” toner, we must remove the

residual “old” toner.

On the rst rell of your toner cartridge, the new toner

should not be combined with whatever quantity of

toner that remains in the hopper.

Failure to remove the remaining toner will result in

splotching, smudging, hazing, and other print defects.

Note: This step does not need to be performed on

subsequent rells when fresh ReChargX™ toner is

being added to the existing ReChargX™ toner.

Insert the toner hopper opening end of the cartridge

into the plastic zip-top bag which is included in the

ReChargX™ RX350 toner rell kit (Figure 10-1).

Carefully pour out as much of the residual toner as

possible (tapping along the side of the cartridge helps

to keep the toner owing) (Figure 10-2).

If the toner stops owing, stand the cartridge upright

(with the toner hopper hole facing up) and then put

the end of the cartridge back into the bag and

continue the emptying process.

With the majority of the toner removed, remove the

cartridge from the bag. Seal the bag and discard it.
