With time ticking away, the pressure mounts. The last thing you need is a printer malfunction throwing a wrench in your plans when you have an important project to complete.

But don't worry! STPT is here to help. We understand how urgent it is to have smooth printing operations. Delaying the replacement of your cartridge could cause poor print quality and unnecessary stress.

That's why Matthew, our resident print expert with years of experience, will guide you step by step through the cartridge replacement process. In this comprehensive blog, he’ll explain the procedure for the Xerox AltaLink B8090 model, ensuring you're up and running again in no time.

If you're facing print quality issues with your Xerox printer, it could be due to a faulty transfer roller. Fortunately, your Xerox machine will notify you when the roller needs replacement. If you're receiving such a notification, don't worry! You can have your printer up and running again within minutes with a few easy steps.  

In this straightforward guide, we'll walk you through replacing the transfer roller on a Xerox printer, specifically the Xerox AltaLink B8090 model.

Step 1: Open the Left Side Cover

First, you’ll need to open the left-side cover of your printer. Find the release latch halfway down the side and lift the cover to open it.

If you own a high-quality multifunction printer (MFP) for your business, you know they are not small machines you can quickly move around. These printers contain heavy materials like metal and can weigh more than 250 pounds, which is difficult for the average person to carry. 

Regardless, it's important to note that when moving MFPs, we do not recommend doing it yourself. Even if you possess superhuman strength levels, a printer's internal parts are delicate and require expert handling.   

For this reason, we encourage you to call us if you need to move your machine. Our service technicians will ensure that your copier is transported safely to where you need it.

If you attempt to move the machine yourself and an accident happens, you will be liable for any damages that may occur to the printer. 

Are you curious about what a corotron assembly is and why it might need to be replaced? In Xerox printers, the corotron assembly is responsible for creating an electrical charge on top of the black drum. Whenever you replace the black drum, you're also replacing the corotron unit.

Typically, you won't need to replace the corotron assembly very often. However, if it becomes dirty, your print quality may suffer, and you'll need to replace it.

This tutorial will guide you through the process of replacing a corotron assembly step-by-step on the Xerox PrimeLink C9065. Please note that this guide also applies to the Xerox PrimeLink C9070, as well as the C60 and C70 models.

Step 1: Open the Front Cover

To begin the process, open the front white cover of your Xerox PrimeLink printer. Locate the handhold on the right side and pull it open.
