Toner & drum help

My toner looks different or my model is missing from the box

Check the local part code and assembly before forcing a cartridge into place.

Check before installation

  1. Compare the printer’s full model number, the ordered product page and the cartridge part code. Box space can limit the printed model list; that alone does not prove incompatibility.
  2. Check whether you removed a complete toner-and-drum assembly. A toner-only replacement can be smaller because the drum carrier is reused.
  3. Follow the included guide to remove only labelled shipping tape, caps or spacers. Do not pull off chips, contacts or working gears.
  4. If the part code is wrong, the cartridge will not latch or the shape still conflicts with the guide, stop. Send us the label, model and a photo of both assemblies.
