Hi, I recently saw the new 5000i/5020i
What do you think? It looks like they have wireless and shouldn't cost much.
Moreover, apparently the maintenance seems easier.

Search for them on MPlus, there is product tech training on those I did. You will learn something.
1 hint - they are Brother to the bone.

yes, it's born from Brother, I guess it will be better than the Lexmark-oriented models.

I have a new 5020i printed 8K pages, now some grey lines appeared on print out,
checked the official life of imaging unit it can afford 50K, so consider the drum can work longer.

Check drum unit. There is a charge cleaneron top. Should similar to bizhub 20. On those I used to remove charge wires (with cleaner) from top of drum unit vacuum it and lines were gone.
Drum unit lasted 2-3 times more than declared. 8k is little bit early for problems but you never know what can go inside.

8k is nothing still probably on starter toner. Have them to move few times green tab of wire charger cleaner. Make sure there's no stuck debris in drum unit especially between charge wire and drum surface.

On the original Brother i have problems with the fusers... sometime i have to change the fuser (to low temperature)and sometime the fuser cover (paper stuck in the fuser)
The other parts are ok.

Image background an lines may appear if the toner empty before toner end detection. if the printer is still running with it's setup toner that might be the problem.

They consumed the starter toner and replace with large capacity genuine toner, after 1 week they reported this issue.
I visited and some vertical grey lines appeared on center region of printout.

Brother has no reset chip.


If so, on brother/KM sister models, how to identify it's a new toner cartridge?

I don't have KM rebadges in the field only Brother original and they don't have chip.

With Gear positions.

With Gear positions.

It would be reset as new one if I adjust the gear position?

and toner cartridge ( genuine or OEM ) for L6900dw can be used on bizhub 5020i and work properly?

I think if you take a KM drum with a KM toner it should work. The KM drum has a black spacer that is longer than Brother's white spacer. So you need a modification.
I've tested the KM drum in a Brother and it works.
Reset could be done with button combination also but don't ask me how (on Brother)

Thank you very much for your reply.
On OEM toner market they mainly provide for Brother, it's a good news if these toner can also be used at KM brand machines.
