km3035, 4035, 5035

[cleardata]

hi. i would like to ask what are the differences among km3035, 4035 and 5035 aside from speed.
do they have different parts?
they say that these models are very reliable and great machines.
what are the common problems/issues with these 3 models?
does the toner cartridge has a chip? incase i need to refill the toner, do i have to replace the chip?
thank you.

I think that the parts are the same. The 4050 and 5035 have a 500K PM cycle and the 3035 has a 350K pm cycle. So the PM kit is differant. But I think the PM kits are interchangeable? ?

Do not use generic toner. Do not try to refill toner cartridge. Just use the OEM toner cartridge.

Great machines

Great Machines Parts should be the same with the exception of the Main board, Kyocera calls it the Engine board. It is actually thr Main & engine board combined into one board. These machines are very reliable and will last if you perform PM's on schedule and use OEM products in them. Do not use aftermarket Toner in will cost you more in the long run, by having to replace compoments that would have lasted longer if you had only used OEM.
