One post with the best information about the parts of laser toner cartridges.
Monochrome laser printers use a toner cartridge that prints only in black color pages. This has several names depending on the region, in some places just call toner, some call toner cartridges.
This does not change the operation of the line is used for printing on a laser printer technology and are very resistant, this blog can get tutorials on how to refill toner cartridges, supply most information for refilling same is easier and faster advise our airways care when dealing with this process to avoid congestion.
The parts of a toner are several and each has a significant importance in the operation of the unit, if you are missing a part of the toner, if any is damaged or worn the result of impressions varies significantly.
Below we present a brief summary of the pieces that make up a printer toner, know that not all have the same parts toner, we will endeavor to present the parts used in most toner that we use daily.
If you have any cuestions, please wride a coment, we are here for response...

Complete toner unit
This we can say that is the main unit of a printer, which handles the entire process in combination with the printer, dust adheres called toner to the cylinder shall see later, for itself begin and carry out the most important part of the process, capture-print a page on paper.
This unit in the great majority of cases is black and the type of toner discussed below has the cylinder connected to the deposition of toner, the toner could say it is full.
The disadvantage of this is that when the toner drum unit is damaged we must replace the entire toner if we have a replacement cylinder, the advantage of this is the cost as it comes all together in one place the cost is much less a unit consumption of toner to come separated from the cylinder as in the case of the toner mark Brother.

Cylinder unit
This is a long piece of metal that covers end to end full toner unit horizontally shaped cylinder why sometimes you can simply called "cylinder" has an impeccable manner and in most cases is blue or green. At one end has grooves that function as the bearing, this is by the gear side and turn toner rate of the toner unit complete in due time.
The cylinder helps power transmission serving to receive the negative charge is needed to transfer the toner to the paper. The toner has aluminum substrate which allows the different electronic charges attract one to the other.
Although it seems uncertain but the cylinders have three essential layers and different functions.
ULC Layer (Undercoat Layer) primer, this function is to serve as an adhesive between the aluminum and the innermost of the cylinder (the cylinder base).
The layer of CGL (Charge Generation Layer) layer load generation, this is an ultra thin, so much so that it is thinner than half the thickness of a hair. give the color of a cylinder.
The CTL layer (Charge Transport Layer) charge transport layer, this is a transparent layer and allows the laser pass to contact the Capara generation load, this defines the acceptance of the negative charge and durability of the unit cylinder.
Tips for city a cylinder: These units are sumamentes fragile and delicate, you should not play with your fingers or expose to direct sunlight, it is recommended to buy a new one and no clean having to use again "if you want the best of qualities" if the transport layer charging is damaging streaks appear on pages and spots when printing.

Magnetic roller or cylinder
As its name implies, is a magnetized cylinder dusting better known as toner from the warehouse to begin the printing process, this has a polytetrafluoroethylene coating to prevent toner from sticking and to go through the doctor blade or knife makes little friction and increases the quality of the result.
When the mag roller receives electricity is magnetized, most toner into the image you see above bring a piece of magnet, it has two ends that fit perfectly with the shell of the toner unit, like the this cylinder unit switches the unit from end to end and through the gear can rotate together with the whole toner.
It is recommended to change at least after two you filled toner and wiping place before starting the printer.

Primary charge roller
This is close to the cylinder unit is composed of a metal shaft with molded rubber around it. The function of this electricity is applied DC (direct current) to the cylinder surface, so that the laser printer can write on the cylinder.
Then apply an electrical signal AC (alternating current) for the previous signal is erased and rewritten again.

Wasted toner tank
In this part all toner collecting the wiper blade which in turn takes it to the blade in the printing process is stored, you can also concer as "PCR" or harvester blade.
You can also house the deposit toner lots of waste paper is the role for one reason or another comes to the printing process is stored in this tank, it is always advisable to clean the tank to use a toner again, if otherwise this will fill and threw dust back again, leaving spots on the printed pages laser.

Wiper blade
This cleans the toner was not transmitted to the paper and passes it to deposit toner wasted, this blade is a major cause of descaste unit cylinder, both rubbing wearing transport layer load this with the passing time at least three filled is in need of change.
The much heat is a problem because it damages their texture and makes streaks in it, is recommended to be changed at least every three mandatory.
Do not clean much this blade, the much cleaning can lead to when put in the toner that is little more than the features and break the cylinder when the cylinder begins its process.
If you do not have a material to soften the contact of the blade cylinder and leave a little powder so it will not stick.

Toner powder deposit or delivery thereof
This whole area is where the toner will be removed after the mag roller or magnetized cylinder to start the printing process is stored.
It's called supply chamber, the inside has fins that rotate inside to disperse the toner particles to adhere more easily to the mag roller, the supply chamber can not have anything other than toner, so we recommend you careful when dust to avoid damaging the gear is supplied.
toner hopper |
Doctor blade
It is that which regulates the amount of toner that uses the mag roller, while scattered the amount of toner that reaches the mag roller, that with the passage of time is also damaged, and is causing damage to the mag roller makes that the pages come out with tiny, while noticeable streaks.
It is recommended to change this piece at least after four backfilled of a toner.

Chips toner
In recent years, printer manufacturers have added their toner chips with this alleged mind seek to measure toner yield, but this can be a double-edged sword.
When a new toner cartridge that updates the page count and makes it from scratch again, with the passing of the days when we fill a toner gets several times, this can present a problem because come a time this can affect even the life of the toner cartridge and this will not work more.

Toner powder
It is composed of coal, iron and other supplements improved controlling flow.
The magnetic powder is used in the Canon / HP printers one is more black than another but use can be used for any brand of the two mentioned above, the toner may cause damage to the airways if not properly applied, is recommended protections to avoid congestion in the airways.
Keep this in a safe, cool place, with exposure to high temperatures and extremely low damage also damaged.
