    C5050 Use Color Drum For Black?

    Any way I can use a COLOR DRUM for the BLACK? on the Savin C5050?

    The Blacks are on Backorder for nearly a month, but we can get a color drum ok.

    Hi
    Can not see why not.
    You can strip the colour drum and put it in the frame of the Blk drum.
    If this is the same as a MPC5000 then you can you use the colour drum complete by changing over wire 1 and 2 above the cornector.

    Good luck

      Hmm yeah could just pull entire drum and cleaning/charge rollers out and put them into black drum?

      Sounds feasible.

        Don't these now have the Universal unit that works for both K and colors?

            C5050 is Ricohs Savin Brand, ya know they have like 4 families under neath them. Same Machines, different labels.

            Was gonna do this cause the BLACK Drum units are on BACK Order.
            Wouldn't save any money using a color as a black, but was in need. Instead took the customer a Black and White loaner machine. Luckily they don't use color a lot.

              Comes to something when the part is so expensive you could afford to give the customer a low end machine for nothing if you wanted to!
