Well whatever it is it sucks and this toner pig will dump toner/dev no matter what you do! As said on here many times this series was a real dog in my opinion. Never met one I liked. They could of solved the main issue of overtoning if they just used a waste box instead of recycling the toner. Don't understand how they thought developer mixed with paper dust wouldn't crash. Lucky to get 100k out of dev that is supposed to last 250k (pm cycle which I think is low for a production model). And they made dealers & customers suffer with this footprint for 10 yrs (5510,600, 601) Never really changing the design or improving any of the issues !!!

Don't forget the Di551, where this monstrosity began.

The machine must run over 100K per month to get it to be happy. Its the patch control and cleaning blade relief patches that cause the trouble on idle machines.
You can tweak the theta angle and patch width switches to the environment to get it better.
All it needed to be a great machine was a TD sensor and a waste box...
