So let's get started!

There is a spring on the side that helps the curtain cover the photodrum from light and mechanical damage, close automatically. The upper end of the spring must be wound (the direction of movement is indicated by the red arrow) behind a small plastic side (the green arrow points to the side).

If the cartridge is compatible, then you should clean the magnetic roller with a dry cloth and only, otherwise, most likely, you will damage its surface, which will lead to printing defects (in this case, you will need to replace this component). Clean the gear too if it is in the toner.

Having prepared all the tools, get to work.

Take the cartridge in your hands and turn it towards you with the side with the drum protective shutter (moving part). Pull back the shutter until the drum unit is visible
	Find a small spring on the edge of the cartridge and, picking it up with something sharp, remove it from the mechanism
Unscrew the two screws that secure the photodrum cover. Remove the cover
	Grab the drum gear with your fingers and lift it out of the mechanism. Do not touch the glossy surface of the image drum with your hands, as toner will subsequently stick to your prints.
Inspect the surface of the image drum. If it is worn out, replace the photodrum with a new one; if it is not worn out, quickly put it in a dark place, as the photodrum may become illuminated by direct sunlight.
	Remove the charge shaft from the cartridge and clean it with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. If you cannot remove the charge shaft, hook it by the metal axis with an awl or other sharp object
Now you need to knock out the pins that hold the halves of the cartridge together. The picture shows outer part pin, the rest of its body is located on the inside of the cartridge
	Focusing on the location of the outer part of the pin, push it out from the inside using a screwdriver, awl, knitting needle or other device convenient for you
Grab the pin that appears from the outside with your duckbills and pull it toward you until the body of the pin comes out completely.
	Once both pins are removed, the cartridge splits into two halves. The left side of the picture shows the waste toner compartment, the right side shows the new toner compartment.
Take the waste toner half (the one on the left), unscrew the two screws and remove the squeegee (cleaning blade). Take a vacuum cleaner and vacuum up the waste toner. If you don't have a vacuum cleaner, you can simply turn the compartment over and pour the waste toner onto a newspaper
	Thoroughly wipe all accessible parts of the waste toner compartment, and then reassemble it in reverse order.
Replace the corotron that is secured in the waste toner compartment.
	Take the compartment for the new toner (it contains the magnetic shaft) and unscrew the cover on the side where there is no gear. Carefully remove it
Remove the plug that covers the toner bottle opening. Hold the magnetic shaft with your finger so that it does not fall out of the mechanism
	Insert a funnel into the neck of the hopper. After thoroughly shaking the toner can, pour 120-150 grams of toner into the funnel. Don't forget to hold the magnetic shaft
Continuing to hold the magnetic shaft with your finger, close the neck of the hopper with the stopper and put on the lid. Be careful not to damage the magnetic shaft spring. Screw the cap on the neck
	Take both halves of the cartridge and connect them so that the holes for the pins line up. Return the pins to their places on both sides
Wipe the charging shaft and reinstall it. Reinstall the photoconductor: holding it by the gear and twisting it, put it on the metal sleeve. Insert the second side of the photoconductor into the slot. At the end, put on and screw on the photodrum cover and return the spring to its original position. Put the curtain back in place
	Pay attention to the end of the cartridge. The metal sleeve should not protrude from the edge of the plastic casing. It should fit tightly into the hole. A protruding bushing indicates that you have not installed the photoconductor drum onto it correctly. The protruding bushing should be driven back under the casing with careful, measured movements.
