Minolta SP-6 Toner Cartridge

These instructions cover the recharging of the Minolta SP-6 toner cartridge used in the Epson Action Laser 1000,1500, and
other printers using the Minolta SP-6 Laser Engine.
The SP-6 engine is a 6ppm printer engine that runs at 300 dpi. The toner cartridge is rated for 6000 pages at 5% coverage.
More than 200g will fit into the Toner Supply housing, but the waste chamber will fill up and leak if this is done.
The Drum-101 will work in this cartridge, the gears must be transferred from the old drum to the new.
This cartridge also uses a new method of charging the OPC Drum. Instead of using a Corona Wire or rubber Charge Roller, it
uses what is considered to be a conductive felt strip. This strip can be used up to two times before it fails, to ensure a quality
cartridge- it is recommended that the cartridge be tested before remanufacturing. If the test print shows vertical light grey
streaks - the felt strip is probably bad and the cart should not be remanufactured.
The purpose of this disassembly procedure is to vacuum out toner that will have spilled inside the cartridge during shipping and/
or rough handling, to clean the debris cavity, and to clean and fill the supply chamber with new toner. This disassembly
procedure should also be used to examine the internal parts of the cartridge for possible damage, or wear should the printing of
the cartridge be poor and not correctable by any other means.
The following procedure should be read entirely before proceeding.
