Toner Waste Bottle fills too quickly on Kyocera P8060cdn

[tzim]

I noticed the waste toner bottle filled after using just the starter cartridges and weighed more than two cartridges.

Even a new waste bottle that's been in for about 2 weeks already has some heft to it. Is this normal? That's a lot of expensive toner going to a landfill.

Yellow seems to go down the fastest even though we don't even print that much color.

Where might one get access to firmware updates without being a dealer?

Already using only OEM toner from the beginning.

How many images on the machine? What have you tried? Has it had any drums or dv units? If so was the power turned off before install? Was calibration run correctly? So many questions...

26,000 pages so far. New machine bought a few months ago. On its first set of OEM cartridges after starters.

Tried many things but in response to the main issue of color density fading towards one side. Calibrations, initializations, reseating, etc.

Since you are familiar with this machine, is the color fading towards one side common? Also, maintaining the color density overall on a longer print run, can this be expected on this kind of machine or is this reserved for higher priced ones?

Any examples of the fading?
