							First released in June 2008 the Okidata B2500 machine is based on a 17ppm, 600 dpi MFP engine that has a first page out in
less than 13 seconds. These machines can print, copy, fax and scan. The printers come with a starter cartridge rated for 2,000
pages and the standard cartridge (56120401) is rated for 4,000 pages at 5% coverage. These machines use a somewhat unique
method of telling the printer a new cartridge has been installed. Instead of a chip on the cartridge they use a key card that is
inserted separately into the printer. These reset cards need to be replaced each cycle. When packaging the cartridge it is a good
idea to tape the card to the top of the bag so the user does not forget they have to insert the card for the cartridge to work (just
like the OEM does) An interesting item about this system is that the cartridge does not have a toner end detection system. It is
all controlled by the reset card. These cartridges are fairly easy to do, and with a retail cost of $159.00* very profitable too!
*Pricing in U.S. dollars, as of April 2010.

							3. Pry out one of the side panels and separate the two halves. 4.  From  the  gear  side  of  the  drum  half,  take  a  small  punch
(1/4”) or screwdriver and drive the metal axle pin out. This axle
is fairly tight. Make sure you do it from the gear side (the keyed
side). If you try and drive the axle out from the opposite side,
the axle will not move and you may damage the drum ground
contact inside the drum. Remove the drum.
5. Remove the PCR and clean with your preferred cleaner. 6. Remove the two screws on the wiper blade and the blade.
Clean out the waste chamber. NOTE: Be very careful not to
damage or distort the thin mylar recovery blade next to the
wiper blade. If this blade is bent or damaged in any way, it
should be replaced.

							11.Install the drum axle from the hub side. Make sure the keyed end of the axle is installed first. It is easier if you mark the keyed
end with a marker so you know how to orientate it when installing it. The side marks in the left photo show the orientation of the
flat or keyed edge. The top mark in the right photo shows the keyed edge location.
12. On the toner hopper, note the location of all the gears. 13. Remove the four loose gears from the hopper.

							20. Remove the two screws from the doctor blade.
NOTE: The doctor blade in these cartridges actually consists of
three parts: an upper metal brace, the doctor blade itself
which is a very thin sheet of metal, and the lower metal brace.
Be very careful when handling the doctor blade as it is very
easily bent.21. Remove the upper metal brace, being careful not to
damage the alignment pins. The pin on the left side is
normally tight so more care should be taken there.

left side of the hopper. Again, be very careful not to damage it.
Clean the blade with a cotton swab and alcohol.
