    Setting Powder Help

    I have left my setting powder at the office. I need to change drums on Konica Minolta c500 pro. Has anyone ever used anything else?

      Only in the last few years have I stopped using toner, and started using the manufacturers setting powder. Sharp was very emphatic about using the Titanium Sterate setting powder on the transfer belts. The reasoning was that other types of setting powder somehow stick to the belt leaving image voids.

      Personally, 99% of the time toner should be fine.

      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          Thanks I have used toner in the past as well, but did not want to damage new drums. Always nice to have more than one opinion.

            On the color boxes always use Yellow toner. It's the least visable if something goes wrong.

              Toner never fails. I quit using setting powder after having to explain the tiny ziplock with white powder while getting searched before going into a prison.
