Yes Mono if it was color it would be a ci

I believe all the copiers are dual component now, the specs in the service manual will say if it is mono or dual

The manual says "Touch down developing system,Developer: 2-component" but when I look at the mag roller it does not appear to have a brush like a ricoh. It looks more like a canon would look.

Does the dv unit usually go the 600k as stated?

Touch down is dual componet
dv unit have both sleeve and mag roller
mag roller - dual componet
sleeve roller- only toner on it
no generally will not get 600k

Thanks for the info. We are considering the Kyocera line but concerned about the cost of toner and consumables.

They almost always go 600K for us. I use the word "almost" reluctantly because I can't really remember ever having to replace one outside of the maintenance kit.

Now fusers rarely ever go a full 6ook.

Cost of toner and consumables??? I have played with Canon, Sharp and Ricoh and IMO Kyocera has the best, bumper to bumper warranty even

The last monocomponent Kyocera MFP's were the FalconIII (KM-3050, 4050, 5050, 420i, 520i), and the HarrierI and II (KM-6030, 8030, 620i, 820i). There are still a few monochrome tabletop printers and MFPs based on the 4100, 4200, 4300 printers.

Monocomponent developing was miraculous back in the day when 20K was the typical developer life. Now that developer lasts up to 1M prints, it's not that big a deal. =^..^=

Agree. Good consumables and toner cost. 3 year/life warranty on all consumables. If the units fail before their life Kyocera will replace. Warranty process is a PITA but guarantees you get the life out of the units.
3501 is now obsolete and replaced by the new generation which is basically a colour machine without the colour devs/toners.
In the high speed machines, they are more like their old cousins.
We have an 8002 out there that has now done 1.6 million (5 months) all devs, drums and fusers have done their life. The previous 8001 we replaced devs and drums often before life
Always found it necessary on the 3501s to do a mini pm at 300k otherwise the dev would drop toner.

We get 60 -80k on dev units using non oem toner instead of 600K. A lot better using oem toner maybe 300 to 450K. Never I had a dev unit do a full Life. We dont have too many of them so I guess some will do a whole life I just never seen it.
