Bizhub C258 color and Bw drum unit

[kalimero]

Hello All,

So far it the bizhub c220/c280/c360/c224/c284... models we were abble to use the black drum units as color,
but now in the bizhub c258/c308 series when swapping the units black to color there is a quality issue.
By eye the color DU and b/w DU ire indentical!

Has anyone figured this up? What is the difference?

Thanks!

I know this is an old post but i presume everyone knows that you can change the black drum units to colour.

We don't bother changing the chips we use adapters !


Very easy to convert the black drums to color and the savings are massive.

Re: Bizhub C258 color and Bw drum unit

u can use the BK drum for all colors.

u need a color-chip (im not sure if katun have them)
and u need to exchange the front holder of the new black drum with the holder of the old color drum. (because theres a bigger spacer (to the dev unit) in front that results in half copies in color. (its the black holder 3(+2) screws under the blue front grip (2 screws)
and at last theres a black stopper backside of the drum wich has to be removed.

on new drums it could be hard to exchange the drum-chip because now there is no screw. maybe break the old one and glue the new one.

Nice, where do you purchase them? I was going to create some sort of resetter for this docking port but dropped the project due to a lack of time (and chips from china are very cheap).

where do i find this?

we used to chip away on 4e machines and behind, but so far never needed to replace any drum to 8 series

Re: Bizhub C258 color and Bw drum unit

You just need to remove the blue cover with 2 screws then remove the 3 lower screws to remove the bracket. Do not remove the 2 upper screws (which look slightly different) as this can effect copy quality and cause damage to the drum / dev. You also have to snap off the black plastic lug that sits on the same side as where you find the serial number but a bit further down.

I'm pretty sure you can use the c224 drum chips to reset these units too.
