You, sir are a hero. Thanks for sharing this. You've saved the environment a scrapped printer that could be fixed pretty easily. Thanks for sharing. 'Fixing, the unsung hero of creativity'.
Great video, as I was looking for how to remove the cover on the toner waste reservoir. Other sites suggest wearing disposable latex gloves as oils from fingers will damage the transfer belt (and I've seen this happen). I would NOT suggest using a cotton swab in between the toner wiper and the transfer belt. This needs to be a very tight fit, and there is a risk it might loosen it or leave cotton particles. THANK YOU Aaron!
I ended up doing something similar with my printer, a Kyocera, but used a vacuum to suck up the toner from the roller and drum unit. Once assembled it didn't print anymore and just churned out blank sheets?!? im not sure whether I damaged anything and my toner cartridges are all new. but it still prints blank sheets 😞
With the waste toner collection, remove the rubber piece and place the mouth over a small-ish plastic garbage bag then shake it out. Wait for it to settle down before removing it from the bag. After removing the transfer belt cover, it's usually stuffed with waste toner. Carefully dump that out. Not in the sink! Toner clogs pipes. And Warm or hot water sets it on your clothes or hands. I think the best would be bring it outside and use canned air after most of it is dumped. If you screw up the belt, a belt replacement is about 75% of the cost of the printer. I'm an Ex-HP field engineer.
A agree with the trash bag & not putting fine toner particles down the sink and into the water system. Not a good idea to take it outside (unless it's nightime) - I've seen other sites/posts that the transfer belt is sensitive to light.
Omg we've just done ours fir the first time, hiw dirty it was... wow!!!! Unfortunately we niq have coloured lines vertically on every page. What have we done wrong?
If you unplug the printer and wait 30 minutes the fused shlkld be cool enough that burning yourself shouldn’t be a problem as for those waste bins if it has a chip on it emptying it won’t do you any good as the printer will still register that its full.
You could have just removed the blade on the transfer belt by removing a couple of screws on the side of the unit. Then use a 3m vacuum to clean out the unit before reassembly.

You are a legend!
This video was 1000x more helpfull than any video or guide I could find from HP.
This was an excellent video! Couple of other tutorials didn't show how to clean and open the hopper, just how to wipe the belt clean. Thanks! 🙏
Worked like a charm! Thank you!
Just completed this on my CP3525dn, it fixed an annoying smear across all pages, don't forget to run some "cleaning pages" after you do this. THANKS!
thank you 22408 or aaron, whichever you prefer.
Thank you so much, Aaron. This was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
great info thanks for the video
Your video was most helpful and allowed me to solve the issue of poor print quality very quickly.
Thank you!

Excellent - fixed my problem. You complain about the feed for tray 1 @13:50. You just need to pull out and flip the light grey tray extender.
This was a very helpfull video. I managed to clean the transportbelt myself. Thank you for making this video!
Are you ever going to make more system test videos
Thank you very much, this video helped me a lot
Amazing video, super detailed, thanks
Thanks bro it helped so much, but how many pages should i print to get rid of pale lines all the time ❤❤

What if I replace the belt myself? Is the belt itself acceptable in pricing?

Nice
Hello, I have the same printer. Do you know what could be the reason why my transmission belt is dirty with different colors?
It worked!!!
Thanks man, you just saved my machine from line print
Omg we've just done ours fir the first time, hiw dirty it was... wow!!!! Unfortunately we niq have coloured lines vertically on every page. What have we done wrong?

I wouldnt recommend draining the toner, since toner likes to clump up and is made of fine plastic so it can clog the drain quite easily
No stainless steel
