may cause uneven tensions, resulting in print defects.

is the same on all eight models, and prevents the cartridges
from being inserted into an incompatible printer, such as
an Optra S or T.

Static Control recommends post-testing your cartridges


after remanufacturing, and stresses that you make certain
to post-test your cartridge in the correct printer. FIG 88

Safeguarding Your Cartridges

Avoid OPC Impact Damage During Shipping Shipping lock in


The design of the hopper and waste bin sections allows the place
potential for impact damage to the OPC drum and developer
roller anytime the cartridge is being moved, and especially dur-
ing shipping. This damage can result in print defects. OEM car-
tridges come with a shipping lock, which creates a separation
between the developer roller and OPC drum so that these com-
ponents are not in contact during shipping. Static Control offers
an OEM-type shipping lock that installs easily on remanufac-
tured cartridges (FIG 89), with an instruction card that prompts
the end-user to remove the lock before installing the unit in the
printer (4059SLOCK). FIG 89
