    MP C300/400

    Anybody tried fitting a SP C430 fuser to a MP C300 / 400 yet? The lamps are different, 550/450 watts to a 650/400 watt in the copier. Since that is only a combined difference of 50 w is that enough to cause problems

      Do NOT try this !
      You will end up with SC calls for the fuser....
      Install the proper parts, otherwise your customer won't be a happy customer....
      technicians are the only ones that don't trust technical stuff !

          Besides that the fuser for the printer cost more that the one for the copier. I noticed a lot of different part #s between the two also. The printer version is user replaceable and the copier isn't.

              I even think that do not fits.
              At least I got that feeling when I was training in the machine.

                  OK, I'll give the fuser a miss, what about the PCU?
                  I notice that Ricoh have done their usual trick and ahve given one part number for the black drum unit and another for the colour.

                      PCUs are different sizes.
