Does anyone know, with certainty, the different "sizes" of Xerox's developers?
The main thing I would like to figure out is if the DC5000 Developer Assembly (which uses the 2045/6060/8000 toner) has a different "gap" between the mag roller and the doctor bar than the 250/700 Developer Assembly (which use the EA/EA-Eco toner).
If so (which I believe I remember it mentioned here that that IS the case) what would happen if you use a DC5000 assembly with 250 or 700 toner? (I'm guessing going in this direction, the gap would be larger than the 250/700 developer is designed for.) Conversely, what would happen if you used a 250/700 developer assembly in a 5000, where the gap is presumably "smaller" than the 5000 is designed for.
Background for WHY I'm asking... I have found a generic toner which I like the finish and quality of, for use in my DC250, however the developer provided is of very low quality. I would prefer to use genuine Xerox developer. Much more reliable. However, the 2045/6060/8000/5000 developer is MUCH more economical than the actual 250 developer, so I would like mix it with the pure generic toner (I know all the exact correct ratios), but don't know if it would be necessary to change my 250 dev assemblies to 5000 dev assemblies to accommodate the fact that the developer being used would be the 5000 style.
Sorry for the bizarre question... I love playing around with toners like this. But I've only ever used actual 250 developer with generic/alternative toners before, not the 6060/5000 developer.
