REMANUFACTURING THE
DELL 1130 CARTRIDGE
By Mike Josiah and the Technical Staff at UniNet

DELL 1130 CORE CHANGE UNINET TECH TIP

UPDATE: Dell has made a change to their 1130 cores where the drum axle bushing is in the end cap...

On the left picture you see the older black softer plastic bushing.

The right picture shows the newer (harder) white plastic bushing.

This change was made because the softer black bushings were wearing out in an oblong shape and allowing the drum to move.
Depending on the wear, light to severe banding will be seen on the printed page.

In the old style end cap pictures with the black bushings, if you look at the drum axle bearing hole youll notice wear marks and
that the hole is slightly elongated. You can also see small strands of plastic hanging off the center of the bearing.

The new end caps have a new drum axle bearing made of a much harder (and what appears to be) self lubricating plastic.
This is an expensive upgrade, so Samsung/Dell must have been having massive issues with these cartridges for them to do that.

With a cartridge that was banding, when we swapped out the end caps, the problem instantly went away and when we moved the
end caps around to different cores, the problem followed them.

Take a look at the cores you have in stock. If you have the newer ones with the white plastic bearings, you should be fine,
but if they have the older softer black bushings, inspect them carefully. If the hole is not perfectly round, your test prints will
show banding.

No new replacement caps are currently available, but we are currently investigating a replacement bushing and/or end cap
system.

PRINTER INTRODUCTION
First released in December 2009, the Dell 1130 series of printers are based on a 19-22ppm engine (depending on the model)
with a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi. The processor is a 150Mhz chip and comes standard with 8Mb SDRAM.
Depending on the model number, other options and specs are available.

The Dell 1130 cartridges do not have a drum cover, and come new with a piece of heavy paper with a thin sheet of foam on the
inside taped around the cartridge (see left picture). All new cartridges opened so far have shown some toner leakage on the drum
that would have shown on any prints for at least a few pages.

These cartridges have taken a dramatic change in that there are no screws in the outside of the cartridge at all. There are
plastic rivets that need to be cut off, holes drilled and screws installed to hold them back on (see right picture). Its not a hard
process and it is covered completely in the instructions.

The standard cartridge (Dell # 330-9524) is rated for 1,500 pages. The high yield cartridge (Dell # 330-9523) is rated for 2,500
pages. As with pretty much all cartridges these days the cartridge has a chip and it has to be replaced each cycle.

The 330-9524 has a list price of $62.99 USD* and the 330-9523 has a list price of $87.99 USD*
*Pricing as of May 2011, in U.S. American Dollars.

37. Install the two drum axle arms as shown. The white starter drum separator is different since the cartridge is shipped inside
the printer when purchased. There is a shipping lock inside the printer that forces you to remove the starter cartridge from the
printer in order to remove the printer shipping lock. Once the printer shipping lock is removed the cartridge is then reinstalled.
When the starter cartridge is removed, the separator is adjusted to prepare for printing. The standard and high yield replacement
cartridges are different in color (black color compared to white in the starter cart) and shape. The drum separator in the
replacement cartridges is adjusted when the cartridge is installed not like the starter cartridge that is adjusted when the cartridge
is removed.

We recommend you position the white starter cartridge drum separator in the used position. This will insure that the drum is at
the proper distance from the developer roller.

38. To replace the chip, slice the top of the plastic rivet off with the chisel blade knife.

Drill out the plastic rivet with a small drill, remove the cover and chip.
