    It doesn't seem so, surely the toner powder is the same, but the chip will have a different coding

        The MPC3503 , IMC3500 and IMC 3010 are all the same toners. Chip is different and there is a difference in the cartridge collar.

        If all else fails read the Service Manual!

        If that fails, meet me at the pub and we will discuss it.

          Maybe it's different here in in NA.
          I've used the MP C3503 in IM C3000/3500. No chip issues.
          You can't go the other way though.

          Toner is definitely the same...the toner recipe # is printed on all OEM boxes for easy cross reference

                Here in the EU the chips are different. In the beginning when the IMC's first came out they used MPC toner. then they phased in a different chip and firmware.

                    Correct. Only compatible one direction but not the other. Just another way Ricoh fooks its dealers........and don't get me started on the insane prices they charge dealers for fax options.
