Ricoh part Pricing

[dave w]

Complete Fusing unit is Cheaper than a fusing sleeve

Model IM C300

Sleeve = D0C94038 £370.58

Fuser = D0C94032 £115.23

I have seen this price diffrence on a few ricoh A4 MFPs

Saves me from fitting the sleeve

This is UK pricing - same in other areas?

Same pricing structure for the PCDU & transfer units.

Yeah kind of the same philosophy change they made with the IMC3000 (more assy's, less single parts or splitted DV/Drum units).

Hasn't the fusing unit always been cheaper on those A4-models? (MP C305-307 IM C300)

In those models I have always changed the complete unit. They are cheaper than parts.

Exactly, always did the same, don't even think the PM-table in the service manual recommend you switch parts.
