On really old C250 machines, when you can no longer get consumables, I used a yellow IU on the magenta slot (exchanged chip and broke the key tab) and then ran 80 A3 100% magenta color. You can clearly see the color change gradually from yellow to magenta. I've done that a couple of times and it works fine when you're in a pinch (I believe I posted about it at the time, not sure)...

Yellow is prob only colour this would work
Believe me, I've done it with other colors and machines. It's just a matter of printing out enough pages to deplete the old toner and replace it with the correct one.Originally Posted by rrrohan

I spent the last 20 years working mainly with Special Ops soldiers who were trained to overcome obstacles. Those pesky idiot tabs they put on toners to keep idiots from putting them in the wrong slot were just a reason to get out the Gerber tool and do a field modification. Did I tell you the one about ground charcoal in the toner bottle? Oh yeah, I'm sure I have.
