Aficio 2035 S/P: toner leak

Four things to look for here.....

1. Did you remove the inner top of the toner bottle? The clear one. That will create a mess. Only remove the black cap.

2. The seal between the toner hopper and the top of the photoconductor unit has been damaged. Need to replace or fix this. You can see the seal around the hole in the pcu when you pull the toner hopper out.

3. The claws in the toner hopper that grab the top of the toner bottle are bound up or the release mechanism (green handle area) is messed up. Clean if you can or replace worn parts.

4. If the copies are getting light, then the plastic 'scoopers' inside of the toner hopper are damaged. You will need to disassemble the receptacle the toner bottle fits into and repair the 'scoopers'. If they are still there, just glue them back on.
