Re: Is this true.....
I just looked at a MP C6004EX (newest model I have here), and it still has the SP mode where you can turn off the "toner refill detection display". When it is on you get a "independent toner cartridge" on the display, but the machine still works. Don't know about other later models.NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING -
Re: Is this true.....
Haven't heard or see anything of that nature on any of the IM or older models I have installed. The writer of that article has no idea how the auto update function works. Doesn't understand that it can be turned off, machine need to be on @ remote for it to work, and that a firewall could also block that function. Although, that doesn't mean that function is not there, just that I haven't seen it....yet.Comment

FWIW, the article in the original post is from Vince McHugh, who has a very solid reputation.“I think you should treat good friends like a fine wine. That’s why I keep mine locked up in the basement.” - Tim HawkinsComment

Re: Is this true.....
This has been fought in courts many times and the OEM always lost. They have to allow aftermarket toners to be used in their machines! But the question is how the OEM's "sabotage" their machines so you have nothing but issues with aftermarket supplies.....Comment

With the Martini series Ricoh sold developer under 2 part numbers. Originally one was intended for the US market and the other was for the rest of the world. The only difference was the price.Comment

At the risk of sounding extremely boring there's an European Union ECO Label that can apply to imaging products and the applicant / manufacturer must
So if the ECO label means anything that firmware would have to be re written for Europe.If requested by
the competent body the applicant shall submit instructions on how the cartridge shall be
remanufactured and/or refilledComment

Re: Is this true.....
Back in the days of coated paper electorstats and paper pirates if we got a copy quality from a customer who had not purchased paper recently I would take the paper that we sold with me. The first thing I would do was teat the machine with the paper they had and also with ours. When the quality was good with our paper and crap with the paper they had I would give them the choice of paying me to attempt to adjust the machine, use only our paper or call who ever they bought the paper from and see if they would send someone to adjust their machine. Unapproved supplies were not covered by maintenance contracts.Comment

Re: Is this true.....
Yip. HP amoungst others ended in court with a class law suit some time ago. The argument was that once the warranty was over, the customer should have the choice of toner/ink supplier. HP lost and had to amend the firmware on all their devices to allow for this.
They adapted the firmware to detect and keep count of this (so should the customer buy compatibles while warranty is still in place - which allowed them to void any warranty claim arising from this condition).
Ricoh must be careful not falling in this same hole!
From the PDF it looks like they want to control the toner by region like the DVD region code of old... not sure why...Press the GREEN button!!Comment
