Below are your 45 easy steps to know how to remanufacture your HP 2500 LaserJet C9700A (black), C9701A (cyan), C9702A (yellow), & C9703A (magenta) toner cartridges.

Step #1:

oGently set your toner cartridge on your workstation with the toner hopper contact end plate facing you.

Step #2:

oTake your #2 Phillips-head screwdriver and remove the two black screws from the end plate.

Note: The screw located just below the developer roller is longer than the other screws on the cartridge. Make sure the correct screw is used when reassembling the cartridge; otherwise the screw can jam and cause an invalid toner cartridge.

Step #3:

oNow, take out your #0 Phillips-head screwdriver and remove the small screw from the contact end plate.

Step #4:

oYou should be able to slide the end plate away from the toner cartridge.

Step #5:

oSimply rotate the cartridge at 180 degrees. Remove the 2 screws holding the gear housing end cap to the toner hopper.

Step #6:

oGently slide the gear housing end cap from the toner hopper.

Step #7:

oRemove the 5 gears from the end of the cartridge leaving the toner hopper agitator drive gear.

Step #8:

oThe developer and roller end plate is held in place by 2 screws.

Step #9:

oTake your #0 Phillips-head screwdriver and remove the small silver screw.

Step #10:

oYou can now slide the developer roller end plate from the side of the cartridge.

Step #11:

oWhatever you do - DO NOT lose the round bearing that sits inside the developer end plate.

Step #12:

oRotate the cartridge at 180 degrees. Remove the screw holding the developer roller end plate to the hopper.

Step #13:

oRemove the end plate while holding the developer roller.

Step #14:

oRemove the developer roller. Next, remove the developer roller bearings from the ends of each roller.

Note: Again, whatever you do - DO NOT lose the round bearing that sits inside the end plate.

Note: Be sure to clean the developer using a lint-free cloth along with some alcohol.

Step #15:

oIn order to lift the top cover of the hopper, you need to lift the back of the cover off the positioning post located on the backside of the hopper.

Step #16:

oAt this point you can lift off the top cover.

Step #17:

oSimply remove the 2 screws holding the doctor blade.

Step #18:

oEach end of the doctor blades are adhered to the developer roller end felts. Using your X-acto knife cut the doctor blade away from the developer roller end felts.

Step #19:

oDisengage the contact spring from the end of the doctor blade.

Step #20:

oLift up on the doctor blade and remove it from its place.

Step #21:

oOn the ends of the doctor blade are filled with the same sticky foam found on the HP 4200 wiper blades. You need to clean the blade using water and a cotton swab. Make sure you do a thorough cleaning.

Step #22:

oFor this step, you have to remove the feed roller end felts from the ends of the feed roller.

Step #23:

oRemove the toner hopper fill plug. Now clean the toner hopper using dry, compressed air or a vacuum.

Note: Please be very careful when leaning out the hopper. The slightest damage to the developer roller-sealing blade could cause the cartridge to leak. This can lead into a messy problem.

Step #24:

oUsing your small flat-blade screwdriver, push the seal exit port plug out from the toner hopper.

Step #25:

oTake the edge of the seal and fold the corner over so that the liner sits above the top of the seal.

Step #26:

oPlace the seal under the feed roller and press down on the end of the seal.

Step #27:

oGently, yet very slowly pull the liner of the seal across the cartridge - exposing the adhesive.

Step #28:

oFirmly, press down along the edge of the seal to help the adhesive adhere to the hopper.

Step #29:

oCarefully slide the tail of the seal through the seal exit port and install the seal exit port plug.

Step #30:

oFill the hopper with toner. Then, install the toner hopper fill plug.

Step #31:

oPatiently, remove the foam sealant from both ends of the toner hopper.

Step #32:

oPlace the cleaned doctor blade onto the hopper. Install the 2 screws that hold the blade in place.

Step #33:

oUsing your cotton swab, apply a dusting of toner (use the same color toner as the cartridge is geared for) to the contact surface of the holes found on each end of the doctor blade.

Step #34:

oUsing your silicon or caulk, seal the ends of the doctor blade through the 2 holes found on each end of the doctor blade.

Step #35:

oGently, place the doctor blade contact spring on the end of the doctor blade.

Step #36:

oNow install the feed roller felt washers onto the feed roller axle.

Step #37:

oYou can now pour a small amount of toner onto a lint-free cloth. Apply the toner to the developer roller. Place the developer roller onto the toner hopper.

Step #38:

oSlide the developer roller end plate onto the contact side of the cartridge. Then, install the screw that holds the end plate in place.

Step #39:

oAgain, slide the developer roller end plate onto the gear slide of the hopper. Then, install a standard screw and a small silver screw to hold the end plate in place.

Step #40:

oNow, place the top cover onto the toner hopper.

Step #41:

oFor this step, you will need to install the gears onto the side of the hopper.

Step #42:

oNext, install the gear housing end cap onto the end cap onto the end of the cartridge. Install the fine threaded screw into the screw hole just below the drive gear and a standard cartridge screw into the screw hole toward the top of the end cap.

Step #43:

oCautiously place the contact cap onto the other end cap of the cartridge.

Then, install the 3 screws that hold up the end cap in place. The large cartridge screw goes in the screw hole by the developer roller, the small silver screw in the screw hole on the bottom of the end cap and the standard cartridge screw goes in the hole toward the top of the end cap.

Step #44:

oFinally, your last but not least step is to replace the chip that can be found on the top of the toner hopper.

Step #45:

oTest the toner cartridge(s).

Note: Just so you know, the HP 2500 LaserJet printer takes the C9704A drum kit, which has a monthly duty cycle of 20,000 pages on the black and 5,000 pages on the colors.

Congratulations, you have successfully completed the process on how to remanufacture your own HP 2500 LaserJet C9700A, C9701A, C9702A, & C9703A toner cartridges.

Good luck and complete each cartridge as if it were your last. This information is provided to you for both educational purposes and to also improve your knowledge in the technical area within the remanufacturing industry.
