Hey Folks,
Is there a way to increase the life of printer supplies for the 7300N printer? And, are there any ways to refurbish the imaging drums or transfer roller myself when they reach the end of life?

Just have to ask...

Thanks,

Chip
 
unfortunately I don't know of any way of extending or refurbishing supplies. Xerox has done some funky ways of making sure the toner pirates stay away from their income source.

Thats why HP, Cannon, and Lexmark are having a harder time keeping up revenue from thier supplies division.

Only one tip that I can share is to done grade the quality of your print outs. If you use less toner on a page, the longer they will last.

Well, thanks for the response. I didn't think it would be easy... Oh well...

One thing that I noticed is that there is a little toner left in the imaging unit after the cartridge is empty. When the imaging unit is depleted or fails, you can put the leftover toner back in the toner cartridge by leaving the cartridge on the imaging unit with the lever still locked in, remove the imaging unit with the toner cartidge, turning the whole think upside down and then tap on the assembly. Do it outside, because some toner will escape.

But that's about it.

There may be other tricks that may help and I'll post them when I find them out.

Thanks again.
