Welcome to The Printing Workshop! Our friendly printer technician, Matthew, is here to help you tackle a common printer woe: toner replacement for your Xerox AltaLink B8090 printer.

Toner is the lifeblood of your printer, responsible for transferring images and text onto paper with precision. But your toner cartridge depletes as you print, resulting in faded prints, streaks, or smudges. A printer with low toner is not ideal for your productivity.

This article will walk you through how to replace the toner in your Xerox AltaLink B8090 printer. We promise to make it easy to follow along. So, let's get started.

If you’d like to know more about toner, check out our article explaining what toner is and how long it lasts.

If I had told you 20 years ago that it would be possible to print photos and documents directly from your iPhone or Android using modern technology, you would have probably looked at me with confusion and concern for my mental state.

However, the advancement of technology has made it so that you can print from your smartphone no matter where you are, as long you have the conditions in place for the type of mobile printing you want to accomplish, which we will go over in this blog.     

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.
