    I had one at the leasing company i buy from wth 672 code,told the guy who
    checks them in to pull toners and repower,no more 672..
    he swapped a set from a scrap unit and it worked..

      This is very true a new bottle comes less than a quarter full.

      Toner by weight is more expensive than gold!

        Especially if you store then standing up. The toner all compacts down in the bottle. That is why you have to shake them.

              It's fairly interesting to see them half full on opening, shake them and you see it expand and looks about 75% full... then it slowly goes back down again. That sentence is so sad
