The drum print quality life is expected to deteriorate at 100% they do however continue to produce good print quality until about 200-250, the black drum will start to leak at around 150% so I would look at replacing yours soon & your magenta has a very high reading.

If you press TEST then type 10 into the top box PG, the press the start button this will produce a test pattern from this you can check each drum quality.

I understood now, numbers displayed are percent about life of the opc drum.

The opc drum is not so shiny

I try to replace the opc drum + chip from china site, is this a good method?

I would personally not use non genuine parts in these machines, these machines are a pain in the backside at the best of times never mind the worst, you don't need to help them along

Worth a try if you are on a budget, but you might get E020 errors as the developer is old

The cheap parts options are, in every sense of the word, a false economy.

they may be cheaper but 9/10 times you will replace them more often at fewer intervals which means your spending more time, and time = money.

the cost of parts should be offset by your cost per copy count or your service contract or the customer should be paying for the parts. in any circumstance, if you don't use genuine, you will have problems.


we only use genuine parts and toners in our machines, there really is no better alternative.

Hi,

In the most cases, the manufacturer does not recommend heavy paper - about 250gsm or maxim 300gsm, but are many users who use a heavyweight paper, what to think, for every 1000 prints all will change the fuser???

I want to print Business Cards and i need to print on heavyweight paper.


Thanks for my remove fog

Best regards,

1. There are cleaning brushes and seals inside the drum unit, which also holds the developer assembly. It is a waste of time and money rebuilding these units.
2. Don't compare this machine to a Doc250. Maximum paper weight is about 253 g/m2(about 10.5 caliper roughly...11 point stock).
3. This is a "business,presentation style" color machine, not print for pay. Yes the 250 will feed plywood. This won't.

The drum cylinders are worn, that's why you have these lines & poor quality solids.
