    KM C220 Developer change

    Hi
    Is the developer for KM C220 available or do we have to change the whole developing unit like KM says.

    Thanks

        they aren't built to be used twice, I'm sure you can get the dev and rechip them thanks to the Chinese, but it will be a piece of crap and will fail, especially with non genuine developer.

          Or install the end of life firmware and run them to fail. The dev units will generally out last two drums, even the black one. We change very few dev units on these machines which is a good saving in time and money.

            Well i am getting genuine KM developer so I am planning to replace them and lets see what happens . the counter is 171000 at the moment and i am seeing some IQ defects .The developer assy looks good .

            I have installed End of life firmware so no worries there.

            Thanks for the inputs
