Access the transfer belt by opening the printer's front cover, which may require removing additional components such as the toner cartridges and imaging unit to reach the belt assembly. Carefully remove the old transfer belt, taking note of its positioning and attachment points to assist in installing the new one.

Install the new transfer belt by aligning it correctly within its designated area, ensuring all connections are secure and the belt is taut without any wrinkles. Reassemble any previously removed components, including the imaging unit and toner cartridges, and close the printer's front cover.
