I am trying to remove the toner cartridge to replace it. I open the front door, pull toner cartridge out...that's all the manual says. Yet when I do it, something is jambed on the left.....you can see/feel the right side of the cartridge release, but the left is getting hung up somehow. Is there a button that needs to be released or something? Brother IntelliFax-4100 Thanks

To replace toner cartridge, follow these steps:
1. Open front door on printer

3. Press blue (or sometimes gray/green) latch on the left oof the drum assembly and pull the toner cartridge up and out.
4. remove packaging material from new toner cartridge, including tape which you pull by the latch on the side.
5. Insert cartridge into drum and insert drum with toner inside the printer.. See video below with better instructions. Start from minute 4:00.

The drum is part of the laser toner cartridge

Open the front door

Press the square button in the center of the paper receiving are, it is marked with a small triangle

Press and pull, it will open a door showing the toner cartridge

You need to replace the grey bottom assembly with a new one

try to download the manual from the above link and check there.
Howver you can also check it on the lid. instructions are given. This should be very easy as we need to pull out the tray and replace the cartridge. signs and signals are given on the printer itself.

I just changed my black toner this past week, and finally figured out why the cartridges get stuck like this.

First, you must eject the toner cartridge on the front-panel menu:
Menu->Replace Toner->Eject Toner->Black(K)

It will say "Rotating to Black Toner(K)" and then say "Black Toner(K) Ready to Eject"

Now, open the front panel and you'll see the black toner cartridge in front. You can also open the top panel if you want more light on your work area.

Lift the lock handle on the old toner cartridge to the "unlock" position, and here's the part that the Dell instructions don't have:

There are two channels for the toner cartridges -- one on each side. Run your finger down the channel on the right, and you'll feel a small, spring-loaded catch. This catch often gets sticky and won't release the cartridge without some help. Don't force it, but gently move it towards the back of the printer and it should release.

Now the old cartrdige should slide right out, and you can finish per the instructions that came with the new cartridge.

If you can not rotate the toners by using the DISPLAY MENU,

You can rotate them MANUALLY, using a flat head screwdriver or even a key for your car or front door.

Open Front Cover/Door of Printer

Remove Waste Toner Box

Where you see the side of the Blue Cartridge, look to the LEFT and locate a small rectangle with a circle inside it.

Push your car key or flat head screwdriver into this rectangle and the circle will push back and release the lock on the cartridge, holding in with one hand and turning cartridge with the other hand until you get the cartridge you want to replace.

Remove the screwdriver / car key and pull out the empty cartridge and replace with new one.

Replace Waste Toner Box, close front cover/door, switch on and the printer will rotate back itself to it's normally position...... JOB DONE

If you have changed the toner cartridge, the printer must complete a calibration cycle (up to 150 seconds). If you open the door before the Ready indicator on the control panel lights up and the Error indicator turns off, the printer stops and repeats the calibration cycle.

1. Open the Status Display (double-click on Status Display icon in the system tray on the lower right-hand portion of the task bar, OR click Start/Programs/KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 2300W Utilities/KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 2300W Status), and then check which toner color is empty.
2. From the Print menu choose Toner Replace...
3. In the Color list box, select the color of the toner cartridge to be replaced (CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW, or BLACK).
4. Select the capacity of the new toner cartridge (1500 or 4500).
5. Click OK.
6. When the toner indicator on the control panel starts flashing, open the printer's front door. The carousel is automatically repositioned so that the appropriate toner cartridge can be removed.
7. Insert your thumb and index finger into the two holes in the front of the toner cartridge, and then pull the cartridge straight out about 6" (15 cm).
8. Support the middle of the cartridge with your left hand, and then pull out the cartridge.
9. Remove the new toner cartridge from its shipping carton.
10. Remove the protective cover clearly marked 'Remove'.
Each toner cartridge has a colored end that corresponds to a color inside the cartridge slots. Always install the toner cartridge in the slot of the same color.

11. Support the middle of the cartridge with your left hand, insert the thumb and index finger of your right hand into the two holes in the front of the toner cartridge, and then insert the cartridge so that the guides on the cartridge fit into the rails in the cartridge compartment in the carousel.
12. Gently push the new toner cartridge into the printer.
13. Close the printer's front door.
The printer must complete a calibration cycle (up to 150 seconds) after any consumable has been replaced. If you open the door before the Ready indicator on the control panel lights up and the Error indicator turns off, the printer stops and repeats the calibration cycle.

It took me some time but I found the sollution:

Remove the powercord from the printer.

Open the front door and remove the first toner.

Close the front door and open the top door, remove the photo conductor.
When the front door is closed, you can turn the toner trommel and move it so that the second toner gets in the remove position.

Open the front door and remove the toner.

Close the front door and turn the trommel.

Repeat those steps until all are removed.

This is how to Install or replace the Toner Cartridge.

Install or replace the toner cartridge while the printer is on (if the power is not on, the cartridge carrier does not rotate).

1. After confirming the Insert Yellow Toner(Y) message, open the front door.

2. Hold the tape on the protective cover and pull it forward to remove the cover from each cartridge slot.


NOTE: You need to remove the protective cover only the first time that you install the toner.
NOTE: Dispose of the protective cover after you remove it.
NOTE: The protective cover is attached to each toner cartridge mount.

3. Make sure the color of the toner cartridge matches the slot on the toner cartridge carrier. The order is Y, M, C, K. Gently shake the cartridge to distribute the toner evenly.

4. Lift the tab up 90 degrees and pull the toner seal straight off, keeping it parallel with the toner cartridge.

5. To insert the toner cartridges, align the arrows on the cartridge with the corresponding arrows on the printer. Guide the cartridge in until it snaps into place and then push down the handhold to lock the cartridge in place.

6. Close the front door.


NOTE: Make sure the toner cartridge is installed correctly. Otherwise, the front door cannot close firmly.

7. The toner cartridge carrier rotates to the next empty slot. When the color of the newly inserted cartridge appears on the display, followed by the Insert message, insert the next toner cartridge.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 when inserting the remaining cartridges.
Cheers!!
