Chips for C220/280/360 drums

[wseyller]

Was notified today that we now have chips for these in our inventory. I have always noticed these drums look great went replacing them. Looks to me like they will go 2 cycles easily. Anyone using chips on these yet.

We've had these for a long time.

Off the top of my head, seems like drums last 1.5-3x life depending on customer/application.

Why use chips. Just turn the "replace drum" message off. They do run a long time.

Excuse my ignorance, but what simulation mode is used to turn drum replacement alarm off?

If you are KonMin authorized instal firmware GC1-C2. There are tech bulletins about it. They tell you where to make the changes.

my rule is dont fix whats not broken. I always reset ITBU and Fusers and re chip Drums if quality is still OK.

pretty wasteful replacing them just because machine says so

Yea do the firmware, chips are a thing of the past. Only downside is it won't clear the drum gauge and creates p codes, some customers won't tolerate that

Also with a fiery, you have to replace chips as the fiery will lockup with a very annoying message

I agree we have too many customers ringing up complaining that the units are overlife !

That is why we use the resetter for the C220/280/360/224/284/364 + E machines.

It is pretty easy to explain to the customer that the consumables are designed last longer than indicated and the manufacturer errs on the side of caution with the messages. I haven't used a drum chip since the PPLM firmware came out.

many times yes. but I have had several customer that just won't have it. some of them see the P codes and want it gone or see the consumables screen shows items over life. I think maybe the sales people are teaching them this and what do they care. So we just chip and so not to deal with those people. In fact I carry in the part with me as a pseudo to make them think I'm changing it. because if I'm called in to change an image unit and I walk in with only a chip in my pocket they wonder where the parts are. So they think I'm walking out with a used part.

Didn't know there's a resetter for the C220 but know it's too late. I order the chips from china for a few bucks so I can easily equip all technicians with a set in case a customer complains (most doesn't care about the consumable ratings(maintanance icon as long as the printout looks good).
