Can a car function safely without its brake pads? Or parts of its engine?

Probably not. 

Your printer works the same way. It is a machine that depends on all its parts to function properly, and when one of those parts is damaged, your printer can't function as it should. 

Unfortunately, figuring out how to repair or replace a part on your own can be complicated.

Replacing some damaged printer parts on your own can save a lot of time and money, but every printer model is different, and many printer parts have different configurations, replacement time intervals, and service needs.

Luckily, we make it our goal at STPT to provide quality printing information that is easy to understand, so you know where to go to find answers to your print questions. 

Using a how-to guide like this one can streamline the replacement process, so you can rely on a knowledgeable print expert to walk you through all the steps.

When something is old or damaged, you replace it. 

We do this in every area of life. When your phone screen is shattered, you replace your screen as soon as possible so you can keep using your phone. When you rip a new shirt, you take it to a tailor or seamstress for quick repair.

Even Long Life Maintenance Items like the second bias transfer roll on your Xerox AltaLink or WorkCentre printer sometimes need to be replaced.

Luckily, At STPT, we believe that your printer should never be a point of stress in your life. Office equipment should be dependable; it should run optimally and interrupt your work as little as possible. 

One way to make sure your work life (and printer) runs smoothly is to replace damaged parts and service your machine on time, every time.

Without the waste toner container, your printer can’t run as optimally or effectively store toner waste.

Unfortunately, the waste toner container is sometimes treated as an afterthought. However, this part is vital for the health of your printer and needs to be replaced when damaged.

The waste container replacement process varies between models, which can make it complicated for people who don’t know much about printer maintenance, and the relatively simple process of changing parts can be made even more complicated by poorly written instruction inserts. 

Luckily, watching someone else replace the waste toner container on the same Xerox machine or reading a quick how-to article before you try replacing a part on your own is a great, easy way to save yourself valuable time.

Printer toner, a common and necessary component of all Xerox laser printers, varies depending on what model printer you are using.

Every printer model is different, and many printer parts have different configurations, replacement time intervals, and service needs, which can make changing parts on your printer frustrating.

Replacing your printer toner when it runs out is particularly important because your printer cannot run without toner. It’s kind of like filling your car up with gas when it is running low. If you don’t fill up in time, your machine will stop running, and you could end up in a bind.

For some, replacing printer toner may be easy to figure out with just a little bit of help. 

For others, the relatively simple process of changing printer toner can be overly complicated and confusing.
