How to install Ricoh Ricb0799640

• Power down the Ricoh Aficio 2035/2045 and unplug the power cord. Allow the machine to cool if it has been in heavy use, and open the front cover to access the imaging area.
• Identify the development unit area and locate the current 1-type 26 Black Developer cartridge. If a locking mechanism is present, release it according to the service manual and carefully remove the old unit without jolting other components.
• Unpack the Ricb0799640 development unit, remove any protective packaging, and verify the part number matches Ricb0799640. Align the new unit with the guides in the imaging path and insert it firmly until it seats securely and the lock engages (if applicable).
• Close the front cover, reconnect the power, and turn on the device. Run a test print to confirm that density and line quality look consistent with the rest of the page. If your model requires, perform any recommended calibration or maintenance routines via the user interface.
• Reset maintenance counters if your system requires it and monitor the initial print batch for uniform darkness, consistent background shading, and absence of image artifacts. If density is off, run a brief calibration cycle or consult the printer’s maintenance guide before proceeding with additional prints.
