OKIDATA C5500/5800
REQUIRED FOR A SUCCESSFUL REFILL:
? Toner (Uni-kit for Okidata C3400/C5100/C9000)
? 1 funnel cap
? 1 replacement chip
? 1 flat-head screwdriver
Note: Please read carefully before refilling cartridge.
General Refilling Procedures:
Using the flat-head screwdriver, press gently on the tab as shown in picture A to release the end-cap and
turn (the end-cap) clockwise so that the tab arrives to the second slot. (some remaining or excess toner
can and may fall out of the cartridge).
IMPORTANT: You must dispose of any original toner in the cartridge as much as possible before
refilling. Dispose of toner properly into a trash can, or use a vacuum with a hose for best results (if
possible).
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 or use a 5mm straw, by making proper adjustments to the bottle cap, to fill the
cartridge with toner. If you find it difficult to refill with the funnel cap, you can create another funnel with
newspaper or printing paper to help lead the toner into the small opening of the toner hopper. Picture B
shows the area where the cartridge should be refilled. Do not overfill the cartridge, the C5500 and C5800
can be refilled up to 3 times with the Okidata C9000 universal toner kit. Once you have finished refilling
the cartridge, work your way backwards to close the toner hopper opening.
After you are finished refilling replace the chip by removing the cap to the chip holding area. The area
can be seen in picture C.
