4.2.1.1 Toner Cartridge Removal

With AcuLaser C1900/AcuLaser C900, removing the toner cartridges must be
generally performed with the printer in the ready-to-print status, since the removal and
installation of toner cartridges require control by the printer driver. On the repair site,
however, follow the following procedure:
1. Open the Front Cover.
2. Pull off the toner cartridge which is seen in the opening for mounting toner cartridges.
3. Next, with a thin screwdriver, push in the round portion seen in the slot which is
located to the left of the opening for mounting toner cartridges. At the same time, by
holding the tab on the toner cartridge, turn the rotary member counterclockwise until
the toner cartridge to be removed next is seen in the opening.
4. Release the pushed-in round portion back and pull off the toner cartridge.
5. Repeat steps 3 to 4 above until all the toner cartridges have been removed.
