INTRODUCTION:
These cartridges are relatively easy to recondition. Similar in many ways to the 5318
style cartridges which proceded them. It is a simple matter of disassembly, a thorough
cleaning, inspection of the Drum and Cleaning Blade, and repair of the Connector. The
Connector is key to resetting the status code (J7) calling for a new Copy Cartridge. Spare
parts for these cartridges have been slow coming to the market. Fortunately the Drums
are capable of running 100,000 copies. There are two types of cartridges between which
the only difference is the connectors type. The XC23/33 uses a 13R546 cartridge
which is set up to run 30,000 copies while the XDL23/33 use a 13R555 which is set up to
run 50,000 copies. The connectors are not interchangeable although the cartridges are
identical in all other respects.

Remove the metal top cover (and the plastic cover beneath it) (2 screws).
The Cleaning Blade can then be lifted out. Clean everything well. Pay special
attention to the toner brush located behind the Cleaning Blade. Clean the corona wire
with isopropyl alcohol on a swab or a Corona Cleaning Pen. Take care not to damage the
thin mylar Recovery Blade & the Scorotron Grid or its contacts. Inspect the blade for
any imperfections. Replace the blade if necessary (if you do, use plenty of starting
powder). If there are any minor scuffs or fingerprints on the drum, you may want to
polish it with Drum Coat (use sparingly) using a clean white sponge... be sure to remove
any excess polish haze after letting the drum dry for a minute or two. Any polish left on
the drum will increase the # of copies you need to run to break in the drum again
(youll get light copies for between 20 & 50 copies after a good polishing).
7.
Reassemble the cartridge. Return the drum carefully to its cradle, slide the rear
collar back into place. When re-installing the rear plate, note that there is one Machine
screw which goes on the right above the white gear, the other two screws are plastic
tapping screws. Once its all together, turn the drum (counter clockwise when looking at
the rear of the cartridge) to see that all is well.
8.
Replace the Connector... the cartridge will run another full cycle.
