The PM checklist says to replace the developer and the developer units at 480K. My question is: Has anyone replaced just the developer without changing the units? If so, how did that work out? I prefer to do what the manufacture says, but I need information as to why it is a good or bad idea to deviate from specs. for my boss.

Yes, we go easily 800k with same dev units. we replace them only if necessary.

Re: DPC354
We run our dev units to failure. Could be 600k, might be 800k.
The decision to not replace on schedule is based on the cost savings involved.
But if I think it needs a new dev unit, it gets a new dev unit.Comment

Re: DPC354
If it fail, it could pop error code, but u will probably see light copies first. Those mag rollers are very durable. even if you see light copies, I would go F8-09 first w/o replacing anythings, if it still does it after, then replace the developer. I always go with the cheapest part first.Comment
