Considering that was May 1st when this bulletin was released. Anyone seen any of this toner or experienced it yet?

Too early to tell here, also.

hi all, I read on an other site that replacing toner and dev to 20/30 series together with toner motor has been solving this problem. have not yet tried it personally but will look into it. As for the cleaning the mag roller I use a liquid from Dreausicke called toner remover and it dose wanders.

Ricoh will recommend you clean the PCU, but, shouldn't be a problem so long as you slide a sheet of paper between the units before initialising the dev.

It's a good idea though as I often notice the recycled toner is grey because of lots of paper dust content.

But I don't take the toner recycling coil cover off the top of PCU as the RTB suggests, that is to much hassle.
I just flip the PCU over and manually turn the small toner recycling gear with my finger and gently shake it out cleaning the collection blades as I go.

Another tip for these models is be sure to empty the reg roller cleaning unit / mylar and check the PCU and dev unit foam entrance seals are not damaged at every PM (a main cause of toner leaking all over the inside of the door and into tray 1).
