    Re: 8 series drum life

    Yeah all this changing to charge rollers for ozone tree hugging green stuff has just made drum life awful. Also you can't really pop these rollers out like on a Kyocera and clean all that built up paper dust that accumulates on them due to cheap paper.

    TO extend the life, frequent cleaning of charge roller is the only option, which depends upon quality of paper and environmental conditions.

    I had one DR512 CMY drum at 35% life left that sucked out cyan developer. Burned charge corona and matted drum surface at 4 places, 2 at front 2 at back. Transfer belt burned at same spots, black drum matted also but much less. Black drum charged corona not burned - life 65% left.

    All OEM parts and toners. Everything inside manufacturer's life.

    Has anyone experienced this developer sucking on 8 series yet?
    Since there's no charge corona, is a charge roller a solution to this issue?

    We are experiencing toner sticking to the drum surface around 50% of life and we also are getting white lines caused by toner getting stuck on the charge roller.

    Is anyone else getting these problems ?

    Re: 8 series drum life

    I have recently replaced in a bizhub 458 (DR-313K).

    The manual indicates the replacement every 155,000 copies. The printer started making bad copies at 140,000 (horizontally).


    The printer warned me in advance with the monitoring software (first call). The MFP did not alert the customer to the screen. (I guess because there are still 140,000 copies).
