General Refilling Procedures:

Rest the Hole Making Tool on its stand and plug into an outlet. Wait 3 full minutes before using. Position the copper bit on the cartridge in the spot indicated by the photograph and push gently until it melts a hole in the cartridge. Remove the tool, place it back on its stand and unplug it. If the small piece of plastic has fallen into the cartridge, it must be removed, as this can damage your cartridge or cause print defects. If the piece remains in the tool, wait for the tool to cool down and pry it out. Before opening the bottle of toner, turn it upside down and tap it on a table to loosen the toner and allow it to flow freely. Remove the cap

and pull the seal off the bottle. Attach the funnel cap making to sure it is on tightly. Tilt the funnel cap toward the filling hole and insert it into the hole. If the toner stops flowing before the cartridge is full, simply remove the toner, close the cap, turn the bottle upside down and tap it on a table. Once the cartridge is full seal the hole with the plug.

Do not press down on the plug since the cartridge is resting on a table this can actually damage the photo-optic drum. Instead hold one end of the cartridge up off the table and twist the plug until it fully sealed. Now gently shake the cartridge side to side to distribute the toner.

Important: These cartridges have a chip that needs to be replaced in order for the printer to recognize the refilled cartridge. This chip is located on the side of the cartridge as shown in the picture. To access the chip, you need to unscrew three (3) screws on the end-cap of the cartridge around the chip. BE VERY CAREFUL when removing the end cap because there is a spring that could fall loose. You need to remove this spring in order for the cap to come off completely. Make sure you notice where the spring is do you can put it back the same way. Also BE VERY CAREFUL when removing the cap so that the gears on the inside of the end cap do not fall out, if they do you need to place them back. Once the cap has been removed, you will be able to remove the old chip. You have to now install a new compatible chip, making sure the contacts are positioned as in the diagram here. Carefully replace the end cap after you have installed the new chip.

REQUIRED FOR A SUCCESSFUL REFILL:

 Toner

 1 funnel cap

 Smart Chip

General Refilling Procedures:

Use a Flat head screwdriver to pop out the large plastic plug found on the side

of the side of the cartridge.

IMPORTANT: You must dispose of any original toner in the cartridge as

much as possible before refilling. If possible, use a vacuum to remove excess

toner from the cartridge, or use compress air to carefully and gently

blow out any toner inside the toner hopper (Please try to use compressed

air in a well ventilated area) for best results. Dispose of toner properly into

a trash can.

Before opening the bottle of toner, turn it upside down and tap it on a table to

loosen the toner and allow it to flow freely. Remove the cap and pull the seal

off the bottle. Attach the funnel cap making to sure it is on tightly. Tilt the

funnel cap toward the filling hole and insert it into the hole. If the toner stops

flowing before the cartridge is full, simply remove the toner, close the cap,

turn the bottle upside down and tap it on a table. Once the cartridge is full, seal

the hole with the plug by twisting it until it is completely seated. Now gently

shake the cartridge side to side to distribute the toner.

Remember to remove the old chip from the printer and place the new one

before installing the cartridge.

Black Cartridges:
Dell: 7Y743, T0529, T0601
Lexmark: 18L0032

1. Use the enclosed eyelet screw to enlarge the filling hole located at the top of the cartridge. (Do

not remove the cap.)

2. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill the syringe with 8 ml. of Cartridge & Print Head

Cleaner and inject into the cartridge. Reinsert cartridge into printer and print 5 test pages.

3. Fill the syringe with ink. Insert the needle into the filling hole and push down into the cartridge.

Inject up to 20 ml. of ink or until the cartridge is full.

Note: Immediately refill any empty cartridges

Color Cartridges:
Dell: 7Y745, T0530, T0602
Lexmark: 18L0042

1. The filling holes are located under the plastic cap. Use a thin flathead screwdriver or knife to

remove the cap. Important: Do not to damage the sensors on the back of the cartridge.

2. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill with ink.

3. Insert the needle into the matching hole of the color to be refilled, (see diagram above) and

push into the cartridge. Note: You will feel a slight pressure because the cartridge contains a

sponge.

4. Inject about 8 ml. of ink, per color, into the cartridge until the ink begins to bubble at the top of

the sponge. Important: Do not overfill. Keep the sponge inside the cartridge white.

5. Rinse the needle and syringe with water and dry between each color refilling or store for future

use.

6. The cover can be reattached with a piece of tape.

Dell 21, 22, 23, 24 Series

1. Peel back the label from the top of the cartridge to expose the refill holes of the cartridge.

(If the illustration on the right differ from your cartridge model, use 3 toothpicks

and poke each hole to determine its color)

2. Fill the syringe with 10 ml of black ink (5 ml for each color on color cartridges).

3. Insert the needle into the cartridge gently, however, make sure you don’t push the

needle in to the cartridge too deep. Doing so could cause it to go right through the

sponge and come out the other end, causing the sponge to break. To be safe, insert the

needle very slightly, and inject the ink..

4. Once the cartridge has been refilled, stick the label back in place, if the label has been

destroyed, use duct tape or electrical tape. (Try keeping the label size when using tape)

5. Rinse the syringe with water and dry between each color refill or store for future use.

6. Reinstall the cartridge and run 1 - 3 test pages as per printer instructions. If necessary

leave the cartridge in printer for up to 24 hours to allow ink to flow to the print head.

7. After you refill and reinsert the cartridge(s) back into the printer, the printer will still

“remember” the cartridge as empty so it will continue to give you a low/out of ink

warning. Some printers will still allow you to print, but if your printer will not, you

will need to replace the chip on the cartridge (check for availability).
