  |
|
How often is everyone changing out their developer's? The last three times I have had to change them out they were at the following intervals:
209,435 linear feet
432,598 linear feet
179,476 linear feet
The PM schedule says every 640,000 aprox. Just curious....Thanks:) |

You could just change the developer roller, vacuum off the supply brush.
Just be careful to put it all back together properly.
Good luck |

Those are some seriously low yield numbers on those developer units. Your boss must be upset at all the money he is spending on dev units. I am really glad they went and "improved" the 9000 developer units. We never had any issues with the 8000 units.
Anyway, you can send us your dev units for refurbishment. We do the 9000 units now also. $849 gets it done. They work great. Save some money.

| Thanks Doc! I will send my 3 that I replace to you. Are you doing the latest style? There was a tech bulletin in July with an upgrade kit. The three that I would send you do not have this kit. |

As long as nothing is broken, we can do them just fine. I know those crappy toner sensors have been a real issue. I don't have those.
Send em up. We take a look at em.

I am just curious to know if the "newer" 9000's are still having issues with their developers?
We have number 149 off the line and we have been plagued with issues ever since we took delivery...now were one year into this and in need of a "Better" solution other then just replacing developer units every 300,000 to solve quality issues.
Its getting to the point that we want it gone from our site....we have two 8000's, beside this 9000, just chugging away making money. Starting to be a running joke in the shop!
Again...are the newer 9000's still having issues???...anyone??? |

| I just put the latest dev upgrade kit in my 3 9000's about 2 months ago. They seem to be ok. My only issue so far is these 9000's run a lot dirtier than the 8000's did. I know that so far with my 9000's my developers aren't lasting very long. I will post when I replace the ones I just installed to see if these kits were any improvement at all. |

Yeah...our 9000 has the "latest" developer/mainboard upgrade in it as well (that would make it the 3rd or 4th developer since it arrived) and now a few months later we are back to poor copy quality.
Yes, far more "toner" moving around the internals than the 8ooo's.
How old are your 9000's??
Has anyone bought one in say the last 6 weeks?... |

Agreed. The 9000 is one DIRTY running machine. Thing produces a lot of toner dusting inside the machine. |

I just want let you know that I went yesterday on the 9000's machine with a bad quality (background with light solid).
I check and clean the machine AND dev roller....and you know what....I replace the drum and NO MORE BAD QUALITY/BACKGROUND !!!!! with very good solid that I never see on this machine !! I was very impress.
Maybe I had a bad drum but for sure, it was not the dev unit.
Just check the other tread to see my history machine's and recommandations. |

By changing out.....do you mean cleaning the developer unit? We have one machine with close to 1 million sq ft that we've never replaced anything except the toner sensor and done your routine developer refreshing. The other machine with 2 million sq ft has had one developer roller replacement. |

| I mean replacing the dev unit. I always try cleaning first, but with this machine it doesn't seem to help. The 8000/9000 units are the only ones we do not rebuild ourselves. My employer prefers that we don't. |

Interesting. Not sure why your employer would let you rebuild other developer units but not the 9000's. We've had no problems refreshing/rebuilding them ourselves. INX cleaner, microfiber cloths and some good old fashion elbow grease works wonders. |
