Refill instruction for HP Color LaserJet Pro M252, M 270, M 277 cartridges Please read this tutorial carefully before you start. We suggest to always use gloves and a dust-mask when handling toner powder. The original toner cartridge for HP Color Laserjet Pro M 252, M 270 and M 277 are HP 201 A and HP 201X cartridges. To reuse your empty cartridge it is necessary to make a hole in the cartridge, remove the remaining toner, refill the cartridge with new toner and replace the old chip. In this tutorial we will guide you with detailed information step-by-step throughout that process.PAPER PICKUP ROLLER KIT The HP 201 toner cartridges have no accessible refill opening and the dismantling is quite complicated and complex. Therefore we recommend using our approved and top selling hole making tool. It is possible to create a hole with a standard soldering iron as well. If you are using the position shown in the picture below it is easier to remove the old toner. The round refill opening should have a diameter of 17mm to fit and seal with our bottle funnels. Try deburring the hole so the tape can seal the cartridge correctly. It is important to avoid plastic shavings inside the cartridge. They can easily damage the printing parts and the printer. Due to the fact of damaging your whole printer, we strongly recommend not to drill the refill opening. After the opening has been created, you can see the toner bag inside the cartridge. Simply place an X shaped incision and fold the edges to the side. The specification and material behavior of the residual toner inside the cartridge has changed throughout previous printing cycles. Mixed with new toner, it can cause clumping that will lead to bad print results or can even damage the printer. Therefore the residual toner needs to be removed before refilling the cartridge. We are able to use a special toner vacuum to remove the waste toner. But it is not possible to use a common household vacuum cleaner. The fine toner would pollute the filter and the air. It could reach and damage the electric engine or even cause dust explosions. It is helpfull to remove the toner outdoors to avoid toner pollution. Empty the cartridge into a waste bin or a plastic bag.
