Well, it's always best to skip the rope!

[Jomama46]

When in doubt, whip it out!

[aabarnes1]

What does PDI+ mean??

[Jomama46]

Printing, digital imaging (Comptia)

[aabarnes1]

Oh thanx, just did comptia network+ after A+, I think yur PDI is the same as our C&G Level 1 Digital Imaging and Electrostatic Diagnostics

[Jomama46]

Oh, the old CGLDIED. Yeah, sounds the same.

Yes, you're correct, at least when it comes to the MPC3000 drum. But it's a lot harder to get the harness out on the MPC3300 drum. It's doable, but not without risking accidental damage to the drum, was my judgement. Also, the harness is squeezed in very tightly so taking it out without damaging the connector was a real PITA. And also, you get waste toner everywhere...

All in all, if you're careful when you put the drum back in the machine, I prefer grinding it but that's personal I guess

On the old units, I just cut the connector with a knife using the metal embedded pin as a cutting guide. Pick the pin out then another cut of the connector and you're done.

Yeah I second that modifying is just far easier and saves time for us techs’ in the field! If we were workshop bond like service managers we might have done it the other way by changing the harness
