Step 11Reassemble & Tips

Reassemble & Tips
To reassemble, reverse the procedure. First, be sure the blade is completely dry of alcohol. When replacing the blade, be sure it is fully seated against the foam. You can push down the top of the blade holder (the metal piece) to make sure it is completely seated, as shown.

Reassembly tips:
Be sure that the carriage is fully pressed against the blade assembly when you replace the screws. The blade assembly must be properly seated or you will get faded areas where the toner is not evenly applied to the roller. Don't tighten the baffle screws down all the way until they are all partially replaced. Don't apply too much pressure to the inside 5 screws on the baffle when tightening. Once you've got everything back together, you can use your thumbs to cycle the roller toward you. If you missed any deposits, you'll see streaks in the toner. If the blade isn't fully seated, you may see clear areas on the roller, in which case, you'll need to remove the carriage and reseat the blade assembly.
