On the eve of the new year 2015, the Japanese company Brother introduced the world to a series of monochrome printers with functionality to meet the printing needs of any user - from the humble home to the demanding corporate. The line was presented by devices Brother HL-L2300D, L2340DW, L2360DNR, L2365DWR; DCP-L2500DR, L2520D, DCP-L2540DNR, L2560DWR; MFC-L2700DWR, L2720DWR, L2740DWR.

The toner cartridges used in the new line are traditionally divided into standard (1200 pages) and enlarged (2600 pages). "Starter" cartridges can be filled for 700 and 1200 pages of printing (with 5% toner coverage of A4 size print), depending on the model of the device.

To refill the "starter" cartridge, in addition to toner, you will also need a reset flag (to reset the printer counter). We will use a set consisting of a toner bottle, a flag with a spring and a cap for the toner bottle. The reset flag is needed only for the starter cartridge. In the future, only a can of toner is required for refilling.

So let's get started.
Disassembly of the cartridge begins with the side cover. We unscrew the screw fixing the side cover from the side of the gears.

Remove the side cover.

Under the cover we will see two white gears. We remove them one by one, freeing access to the plug of the toner hopper.

The stopper of the bunker is clogged quite tightly. If you do not uncork it carefully, you can easily cut off the edges. Therefore, we open the cork slowly, prying along the edges with a flat slot screwdriver.

We pour out all the toner remaining in the hopper, and, if there is a toner vacuum cleaner, we thoroughly vacuum the hopper from the inside. We are often asked - why pour out the remaining toner, why not just add a new portion and print on? The answer is obvious: Brother cartridges do not have a separate waste toner box; all toner residues after printing are returned to the same hopper, from which they again enter the print path. During the entire cycle of the cartridge, not only waste toner accumulates in the hopper, but also paper dust, which, mixed with toner, forms dirt unsuitable for printing. Therefore, we are not lazy and carefully clean the hopper from the old toner. Adding a portion of new toner to an uncleaned cartridge will result in dirty prints and false assumptions about poor toner quality.

Let's get back to disassembling the cartridge. We release the plug from the screw:

We remove the plug one by one, the large white gear, then the small white gears:

We remove the lock washer of the developer roller (which is often referred to as a magnetic roller, although it is not magnetic by definition):

On the opposite side of the cartridge, you need to remove the black sleeve. It is secured with a screw on the outside.

and has two toothed retainers, which we will gently bend to remove the sleeve:

The bushing consists of two parts that do not have to be separated. It will be better if we remove it "assembly":

Now let's return to the guide sleeve on the side of the cartridge plug. She also has two toothed retainers, which must be taken into account when removing the sleeve.

Now you can remove the developer roller from the seat. Immediately below the roller is a doctor blade, which is secured with two screws at the edges. Loosen these screws:

So we got to the niche of the toner hopper. Inside the niche is a foam roller for supplying toner. Carefully clean the dispenser roller from toner residue using a toner vacuum cleaner:

We draw your attention to the foam seal around the perimeter. The fact is that it is not fixed in anything, not glued to the body, and therefore we try to vacuum it so as not to drag it inside the vacuum cleaner:

We return the cleaned dosing blade to its place, fix it with screws along the edges. The cleaned magnetic shaft is also returned to its place.

We install the guide bushing, fix the axis of the developer roller with a retaining ring:

Lubricate the opposite end of the shaft axis with conductive grease. As always, we apply a little lubricant, without excess. Install the bushing and tighten the fixing screw:

Now we can fill the cartridge with toner. We use 100 gram toner produced by Static Contr o l Components code B 2240-100 B - OS . This toner is enough to print 2,600 pages (according to ISO/IEC 19798).

After filling the cartridge tightly cork the hopper stopper. Then alternately install the white gears. Install the gear tooth as shown in the photo:

From above we install the second gear and the reset flag. You will now see that the white gear tooth is next to the inner tooth of the reset flag.

It remains to install the spring and close the gears with a side cover. Pay attention to the correct starting position of the counter reset flag.

The cartridge is ready.

Formally, the exhibition is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, but in fact it covers the entire history of space exploration from the beginning of the Space Age (1957) and manned Cosmonautics (1961) to the celebration of the anniversary of Baikonur (2015). The exhibition was opened by Olga Alexandrovna Ostaptseva, an employee of the Department of Education, one of the main organizers of this extraordinary event. She introduced the Nizhny Novgorod collector to a few participants - Sarov falerists and philatelists, presented V. V. Zharinov with a bouquet of flowers.

Vladimir Viktorovich himself is very interesting person! A retired KGB colonel, on duty he looked half the world, was investigating the tragic explosion in Arzamas on June 4, 1988. Today he is the executive director of the Nizhny Novgorod regional public fund "COSMONAVTIKA".

Even before the official opening of the exhibition, Vladimir Viktorovich was “taken into circulation” by our journalists and television people.

Vladimir Viktorovich loves to tell how he started collecting space badges. As an 8-year-old boy, he learned from Pionerskaya Pravda that on October 4, 1957, our country launched the First Satellite in the World, and that it could be observed in the night sky. And, of course, thousands of boys of the USSR, like him, saw the FIRST SATELLITE! But not everyone wrote about it in Pionerskaya Pravda, but Volodya did! And he received the most valuable badge "For participation in observations" as a gift from the newspaper!

With pride, Volodya wore this sign for more than one month, and got so carried away that he began to collect all the badges dedicated to space exploration in the USSR! Vladimir Viktorovich showed journalists a box from his pocket with the first badges dedicated to Yu. A. Gagarin (1961).

Especially valuable is the first all-metal badge with hot enamel.

And round badges with photos of the first Soviet cosmonauts were sold here in Sarov (Arzamas - 75), in the Lily of the Valley store on Prospekt Mira, starting from 1961 for 11 kopecks. The first detachment of cosmonauts of the USSR could be easily assembled, if desired, on the badges of this particular type.

Photo 16 - Exhibition stand "Baikonur" and "Star"

The stands feature 46 glazed frames - horizontal tablets with a size of 470x370 square meters. mm (4-6 pieces on each stand). Each tablet has up to a hundred badges, badges or medals from the author's 13,000th collection. That is, about a third of the collection (about 4 thousand pieces) is on display. Each tablet is devoted to a separate topic or, if the topic is large, then it occupies several tablets (for example, “The Flight of Yu. A. Gagarin”).

Vladimir Viktorovich claims that he does not collect foreign badges dedicated to the Cosmos! "Import", even dedicated to Soviet cosmonautics, he does not take because of the "immensity of the topic"! However, we managed to make out on the tablet "Buran" right in the center - a PURE American badge - the reusable ship "Challenger"!

And here are some interesting signs dedicated to Baikonur!

In a word, the COLLECTION presented in Sarov is UNIQUE. The exhibition will be open in the foyer of the DU until the end of January! Hurry up to see the space phaleristics of our country, starting with the first copies of Soviet badges! You will be pleasantly surprised and amazed.

And to the owner of the collection, V.V. Zharinov, we say a BIG THANK YOU and wish to find and purchase another 4 thousand space icons, which he has so far only in photographs, and, most importantly, to fulfill his cherished dream, to publish a color catalog on space phaleristics of the USSR and Russia from 1957 until 2015!
