Yeah, kind of weird when it comes to PM parts. Not just for the C306/406, but also the C307.
PSG says
60k PM cycle for C306, and
90k PM cycle for the C406. WHY!!?
PSG says C306 and C406 PCDU's are incompatible, yet they each have expected yields of
60K - even though the C406 is supposed to have a 9
0k PM cycle.
PSG says Fusing units should go to 1
20k, and they offer a fusing sleeve (For C406 ONLY), that is to be replaced every 60k (except for when fusing unit reaches 1
20k - then you should replace with the "C406 fusing unit with yield of
120k") - even though the C406 has a
90K PM cycle. Also, seems to be a ripoff to buy a fusing unit that should go 120k, but as stated in the manual "you should replace the fusing sleeve every 60k". In my mind, that combination of a 120k fusing unit and a 60k replacement sleeve should go to somewhere close to 180k!!
It makes absolutely no sense to me. This is one way the manufacturers try robbing people in my opinion.
The only thing rated for 90k PM cycle is the Waste Toner bottle.
I've been a little irked by this before. Thanks for bringing it up again.
I will see what machines we have sitting around to test the drum units though.
