TOSHIBA E-STUDIO 280 TONER CARTRIDGE

A saddle stitch finisher option is available for the Toshiba E-Studio 280 that helps to automatically staple stacks of output. When this units staples run out, a CHECK STAPLE CARTRIDGE message will be displayed and a short procedure must be followed to change the staples.

Begin the process by opening the front cover of the stapling finisher. Hold the GREEN handle and pull on the staple unit. It should come out easily. The handle itself can be turned so that the staple cartridge will be accessible. When it is in the proper position, remove the cartridge using BOTH HANDS.

Buttons on the sides of the cartridge are clearly marked PUSH. Press in on these buttons and the staple case will pop out. At this point a new staple case can be pressed into the cartridge until it locks into place, then the staple seal must be pulled free.

The staple cartridge itself must be returned to its ORIGINAL POSITION before it can be turned back into the staple unit. Once it is so, the staple unit can be pushed back into place and the front cover closed. The new staple cartridge does not need to be tested but the alert message should turn itself OFF.

The Toshiba E-Studio 280 notifies users of a toner cartridge outage in two ways: a message that reads INSTALL NEW TONER CARTRIDGE, as well as a blinking replace cartridge symbol.

To replace the cartridge, begin by opening the front cover. Doing this will reveal the toner cartridge which can be released by pressing DOWN on the GREEN lever, which will in turn move the cartridge to the front position. The cartridge can now safely be pulled out of the machine.

When eliminating old toner cartridges, it is best to do so through an accredited recycling program and always store the cartridge in a plastic bag to prevent toner from spilling out. Another option is to store the old cartridge in the box that the new one was shipped in, but labeling it to avoid confusion.

The new toner cartridge must be properly prepared for entry before inserting it into the machine. To do this, first give the cartridge a vigorous shake to ensure that toner is distributed within the cartridge. Next, pull the seal labeled with a small arrow to expose the contact surface of the unit. It can now be inserted into the machine.

To install the cartridge, simply slide the unit carefully into the printer until it audibly snaps into position. Next, the unit’s bypass tray must be lowered. It can be released by a small lever and then dropped open. The transfer cover can then be opened as well which will reveal a very small cleaning tool located in a small front pocket.

This cleaning tool must be removed from its home and used to clean, as well as possible, the transfer charger wire. Be sure that the cleaning pads are making contact with the wire when attempting to completely clean it. When finished, be sure to place the cleaning tool safely back into its storage pocket.

At this point, the transfer charger can be closed, followed by the automatic duplexer, followed by the front cover to the unit, which can now be tested for proper operation.
