Remanufacturing the Canon Laser Class 810 and 830 Series FX11 Toner Cartridge
by Mike Josiah and the Technical Staff · Summit Technologies · September 1, 2008
First introduced in June 2008, the Laser Class 810 and 830i machines are based on a 23-ppm, 1,200-dpi Canon engine. The cartridge for these machines is the FX11 (1153B001AA) cartridge. The cartridge is rated for 4,500 pages at 5 percent coverage.
The machines based on the MF6500 series engine are the:
Laser Class 810
Laser Class 830i
These machines are multifunction in that they print, fax, copy and scan.
As this is one of the newest Canon cartridges, it is interesting to note that the cartridge does not use a chip, no plastic rivets are used, and the plastic parts of the cartridge are not glued or welded in any way (as with all the newer HP cartridges). As with the HP 1200/1300 and others, two small holes have to be drilled in the top to allow for the axle pin removal.
Figures 1 and 2 show a replacement cartridge as received. Note the tape that holds the side handle down and the center handle in place. Be careful not to lose/break the side blue handle. This cartridge sits deep into the machine, and without this handle, removing it will be very difficult.
