Re: Any know the yield of Toshiba Estudio 5540C, Color and B/W Developers
The devs don't have a set life span on the 5540/6540/6550 ( & the previous range 5520 etc... )
The toner contains 17% dev & there is a section of the dev unit which removes old dev as new toner / dev is supplied. This is the reason these machines must be levelled with a spirit level ( bullseye variety, so that it's level in all directions )
As long as you dont run the charge grids until they become heavily contaminated, then the devs will last for a very very long time ( ie i have schools that have done 3 million copies without a dev being fitted )

Re: Any know the yield of Toshiba Estudio 5540C, Color and B/W Developers
Just be aware that the dev is very expensive if you do have to replace! I had one color on a 5520 give an error code ( I forget now is been a few years) and I ended up having to do the dev for that color it was about $500. for the bottle here in Canada from Toshiba....Comment

Re: Any know the yield of Toshiba Estudio 5540C, Color and B/W Developers
The book says 248K but I've seen a lot more yield, and a lot less yield. Most notably yellow toner density errors on the third recall (10K total color count), and still hadn't had yellow developer changed.
I'd like to ask: "What were you waiting for? Obviously doing nothing isn't working." =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
