ReChargX™ RX161 Instructions

For use in the Okidata 43324404, 43324403, 43324402,

and 43324401 Type C8 toner cartridges

The Okidata 43324404 (gure 1), 43324403

43324402 and 43324401 Type C8 are the toner

cartridges most frequently found in the Okidata

C5500, C5500N, C5650DN, C5650N and all other

machines using the same underlying engine.

This toner cartridge is quite easy to rell using our

ReChargX™ RX161 Premium Print Toner Rell Kit.

Within these ReChargX™ RX161 Premium

Print Toner Rell Kit instructions, we will be

adding new toner, emptying the waste hopper

and replacing the cartridge reset chip.

Tools Required:

Flat-blade screwdriver

Step 1: Locate the Toner Hopper Plug

Orient the toner cartridge so the side with the

large blue lever is facing upward. The toner

hopper plug is located on the blue lever, shown

by the white arrow in gure 2.

Step 2: Remove the Toner Hopper Plug

The toner hopper plug has a small prong located

in the six o’clock position in this orientation,

shown by the arrow in gure 3a.

Step 2: Remove the Toner Hopper Plug

Continued

Wedge the small at-blade screwdriver under

the plastic prong (gure 3b).

Gently pry up on the prong to remove the toner

hopper plug, as shown in gure 3c.

NOTE: Do not attempt to ll the cartridge at

this point. It is critical that you perform the rell

process exactly as we have described it in these

instructions.

Step 3: Empty the Toner Hopper

NOTE: This step does not need to be repeated

the next time you rell.

NOTE: This toner cannot be used again as new

toner being added cannot mix with the OEM toner.

Failing to remove the toner before relling can

result in signicant hazing on some or all of the

printed page that will not go away.

Open the plastic bag, included in the ReChargX™

RX161 Toner Rell Kit, and lower the toner cartridge

so the toner hopper hole is in the bag.

Carefully pour out as much of the remaining

toner as possible (gure 4).

Shaking the toner cartridge up-and-down is

not recommended as it normally creates an

unnecessary toner mess.

If the toner stops owing, stand the cartridge

up and then lower the toner hopper hole into

the bag (gently tapping along the side of the

cartridge helps to keep the toner owing).

With the majority of the toner removed, seal

the bag, but do not throw it away as we will be

using the bag again later.

Step 4: Plug the Toner Hopper Hole

Place the plug over the hopper hole, being sure

the plastic prong lines up with the notch on

the side of the toner hopper hole, press rmly

around the entire perimeter of the plug to make

certain the plug sits securely inside the toner

hopper hole. The white arrow in gure 5 shows

the plastic prong tting snugly inside the notch

on the side of the toner hopper hole.

NOTE: Do not press hard enough for the plug

to go through the hole and into the cartridge.

Step 5: Orient the Toner Cartridge

Orient the toner cartridge so the large blue

lever is on the right side and the toner vents

are facing upward, shown in gure 6.

NOTE: It is very important you do not change the

orientation of the toner cartridge in the following

steps, unless told otherwise, or you risk causing

an unnecessary amount of toner mess.

Step 6: Locate the Waste Hopper

In this orientation the waste hopper is located

on the left side of the cartridge inside the circle

in the center of the toner cartridge, shown by

the black arrow in gure 7.

Figure 5: The plug rmly in place

Figure 6: Orient the toner cartridge

Figure 7: Locate the waste hopper hole

Step 7: Open the Waste Hopper

In order to open the waste hopper, you must

turn the large blue lever so it is in the locked

position, like if you were to lock it into the drum

unit inside the printer. To do this press the small

blue tab, shown by the arrow in gure 8, and

rotate the lever forward, shown by the arrow in

gure 9.

When the lever is lifted into the locked position

both the waste hopper, shown by the arrow in

gure 10, and the toner vents open (gure 11).

NOTE: Be very careful when handling the toner

cartridge in the following steps. With the waste

hopper and toner vents open, it is very easy to

spill toner.

lever

Step 8: Empty the Waste Toner Hopper

NOTE: This toner cannot be used again as

paper dust, hair, staples and other small

items can accumulate in the waste hopper.

Note: There is no need to attempt to remove

every last bit of waste toner from the hopper,

just that which comes out easily.

Open the plastic bag, included in the ReChargX™

RX161 Toner Rell Kit, and lower the toner cartridge

so the toner hopper hole is in the bag.

Carefully pour out as much of the remaining

toner as possible (gure 12).

Shaking the toner cartridge up-and-down is

not recommended as it normally creates an

unnecessary toner mess.

If the toner stops owing, stand the cartridge

up and then lower the toner hopper hole into

the bag (gently tapping along the side of the

cartridge helps to keep the toner owing).

With the majority of the toner removed, seal

the bag and toss it in the garbage.

Step 9: Close the Waste Hopper

Close the waste hopper by moving the large

blue lever into the unlocked position like you

would if you were removing it from the drum

unit inside the printer, shown in gure 13.

Step 10: Clean the Area Around the Waste

Hopper Hole

After the waste toner has been removed from

the waste hopper, use the yellow/orange toner

grabber cloth to clean around the waste hopper

hole, as shown in gure 14, to lessen the risk

of a mess.

Step 11: Locate the Toner Hopper Plug

Orient the toner cartridge so the side with the

large blue lever is facing upward. The toner

hopper plug is located on the blue lever, shown

by the white arrow in gure 15.

Step 12: Remove the Toner Hopper Plug

The toner hopper plug has a small prong located

in the six o’clock position in this orientation,

shown by the arrow in gure 16a.

Wedge the small at-blade screwdriver under

the plastic prong (gure 16b).

Gently pry up on the prong to remove the toner

hopper plug, as shown in gure 16c.

Step 13: Add ReChargX™ RX161 Premium

Print Toner to the Toner Hopper

Now we will ll the toner hopper with the

ReChargX™ RX161 Premium Print toner.

To ensure the toner ows freely from the bottle

during lling, make certain the cap is screwed

tightly on the bottle, then gently rock/shake

the bottle to free up the toner that may have

settled during shipping.

Next, remove the original cap from the bottle

and replace it with the plastic dispenser spout

from the ReChargX™ RX161 Toner Rell Kit.

To make the adding of the toner to the toner

hopper as easy and dust-free as possible, tilt

the end of the cartridge with the hole in it up

at a 45 degree angle and slowly angle the

dispenser spout on the bottle of toner to meet

up with the hole, as shown in gure 17.

Tilting the bottle up a little more will start the

toner owing into the toner hopper.

NOTE: If at any point the toner stops owing,

simply stand the bottle upright to loosen the

toner and start the pouring process over again

(resist temptation to squeeze the bottle as it

will make a spill or mess more likely).

Fill the hopper until it appears to be full or until

it appears toner no longer ows easily into the

hopper (any toner left in the bottle can easily

be added in the future after you have done a

considerable amount of printing).

Figure 17: Fill the toner hopper

Step 14: Clean the Area Around the Toner

Hopper Hole Before Sealing

Unfold the yellow/orange “toner grabber” cloth

from the ReChargX™ RX161 Premium Print Toner

Rell Kit and stretch it along both dimensions (it

will stretch considerably in one dimension and

not the other). Stretching the yellow/orange

toner grabber cloth activates the toner retaining

substance that is embedded within the cloth.

You will be using this cloth to clean the outside of

the toner hopper hole to ensure the toner hopper

plug will be applied rmly to the cartridge, as shown

in gure 18.

NOTE: Only use the toner grabber cloth on the

exterior of the toner cartridge around the toner

hopper hole area. Do not use the cloth to clean

any of the internal components.

Step 15: Plug the Toner Hopper Hole

Place the plug over the hopper hole, being sure

the plastic prong lines up with the notch on the

side of the toner hopper hole, press rmly around

the entire perimeter of the plug to make certain

the plug sits securely inside the toner hopper

hole. The white arrow in gure 19 shows the

plastic prong tting snugly inside the notch on

the side of the toner hopper hole.

NOTE: Do not press hard enough for the plug

to go through the hole and into the cartridge.

Step 16: Orient the Toner Cartridge

Orient the toner cartridge so the blue lever is

on the left side and the toner vents are facing

away from you, as shown in gure 20.

Step 17: Locate the Reset Chip

The reset chip can be found inside the toner

cartridge just along the edge closest to you,

underneath a small plastic cover, shown by the

black ovals in gures 20 and 21.

Figure 19: Plug the toner hopper hole

Figure 20: Orient the toner cartridge

Figure 21: Locate the reset chip

TonerRellKits.com RechargX™ RX161 v1

Step 18: Remove the Plastic Cover

Wedge a small at-blade screwdriver near

the center of the plastic covering the reset

chip, between the cover and the cartridge

and roll the screwdriver to the right to cause

the left side of the cover to pop off, shown

in gure 22a.

Slide the at-blade screwdriver to the right

slowly to lift the right side of the cover (gure

22b). Be careful not to break the plastic cover

as we will need it later.

NOTE: If you do break the plastic cover save

it and we will use tape to hold it in place in a

later step.

Step 19: Remove the Reset Chip

With the plastic cover removed the reset chip

will simply fall out of the cartridge. Simply roll

the cartridge forward until the reset chip falls

out and then put the cartridge back in to its

current orientation (gure 23).

Step 20: Replacing the Cartridge

Reset Chip

After removing the old reset chip from the

toner cartridge, remove the RX161RC reset

chip from its protective plastic bag.

Slide the new reset chip into the toner cartridge

with the circuitry facing the outer edge of the

toner cartridge. Figure 24 shows the reset chip

with the side that should be facing outward

facing up.

the left side of the cover pop off

TonerRellKits.com RechargX™ RX161 v1

Step 21: Replace the Plastic Cover

With the new reset chip installed, replace the

plastic cover that holds the reset chip in place,

as shown by the oval in gure 25.

NOTE: If the plastic cover broke during the

removal process a small piece of tape can be

used to hold it in place
