I think the moulds for the bottle drive are shaped different so the bottle might not turn properly even if the cap and length fits.

Re: Km toner bottle

Caps are only thing different. All "8" series have chips. "4" series 40+ ppm machines only have chips

Isn't there a list from KM that tells us which machines use the same toner as others?
One other thread was talking about it but I never saw the list?

That list your talking about only shows what machines the toners can be used in without making any changes to bottles. Don't think Kon/Min would want you to make changes to bottles and they definitely won't publish the actual toner formulas. The 4 & 8 series toner formulas are probably the same but I wouldn't chance it for one reason, the 8 series uses a PCR in drums instead of saw tooth charger...Developer units are too expensive take that chance.

During the Kon/Min toner shortages I was converting the caps to use in other models. Had a lot of genuine TN512 but ran out of the TN321 and couldn't get any, cut the chips and fins off the TN512 caps and was able to put right into the C224,C284 & C364's without swapping the caps. Although I would of rather swapped the caps but didn't have any empty TN321 btls to take caps from. It's very easy to swap the caps (4 clips hold cap on btl)

Looks like the Kon/ Min toner & parts shortage are getting back to "normal" soon. As for machines they still come on ships and will be a lot of delays for several more months. Just my opinion.

Katun dev units for 4 & 8 series are the same, they work perfectly well in either, also we've had no problems with TN512/TN324 Katun toners that go in both machines

Good to know, thanks

Think you meant the Katun developer "powder" not DV units. Don't think they sell DV units? I like Katun and use them ONLY for certain parts & consumables because their prices are almost double from my other suppliers.

Complete DV units, Katun p/no 47996 for example, is a M DV unit, which will fit 4 series, also 8 series, and according to their site, it will also fit the I series

Wow! Good to know. Will check them out. Hopefully a lot less than new OEM which cost $500-600. Fortunately I've been able to recover dev units that dumped by topping off with the aftermarket developer powder that is sold.
