Symptom 
Toner leaks from the aperture of a used waste toner bottle when the bottle is full and 
pulled out from the mainframe. 
 
 
Cause 
There are two possible causes for this symptom. 
1. The entrance seal [A] attached to the old bottle (D0746670 or older) is slightly 
oversized and does not completely seal the aperture. 
2. The entrance seal [A] was damaged when pulling out the waste toner bottle. 
 
Note 
The old toner bottle (D0746670 or older) was modified, and the new toner bottle 
(D0746590 or newer) has a narrower entrance seal. 
 
Action 
Always replace with a new entrance seal [A] (D0746684) when reusing the waste toner 
bottle regardless of the bottle type, before or after the modification, to prevent toner 
leakage caused by a worn entrance seal.
