Problems with the OKI C5250

[John Gregson]

Hi Karl,
If its second hand and done a few prints it could be the Photo Conductor Unit or you might be low on toner.

Cheers John

Thanks John,
Black is at 100% Magenta and Cyan at 33% and the yellow’s at 13%.
What’s the photo conductor unit mate?

[Karl Williams]

Just bumping it to the top!

[Karl Williams]

Could anyone suggest where to get the toner from at the right price?
£111 + vats a large clump of money for one cart.

I’ve used printerland a few times for new MFPs – always excellent service…and if sensible – they sometimes pricematch.

Have a look for InkRite, Misco do them. Even if the printer is IN warranty they will replace the machine if their toner b@llocks the printer up. Just bought a full set for my Samsung and they were half the price of the proprietary toners. :lol1:

[Karl Williams]

The prices on your site Chris look more down to earth. Cheers mate.
Graeme, I’ll get in touch with your contact tomorrow and see what they charge. Thanks for your help chaps. 😉 Had no idea toners were so expensive. Shame you can’t refill them. 😕

[Graeme Harrold]

You can but its messy and involves drilling into the cart and pouring powder in…………. 😮 MESSY

[Karl Williams]

You’d need the chip as well though Graeme. 👿

[Graeme Harrold]

The refill kits come with them if required, also a well known online auction site sell them…. :lol1:

[Chris Wool]

for mine i buy a bottle of toner and a chip so far so good but there is a risk, there has been some horror stories.

i have noticed you have to tell the machine its heavier paper than it is to get the toner to fuse properly. but may have something to do with the air temp as well.

Better pricing and 100% so far servicewise at Printerbase for Oki toners

[Martin Pearson]

Karl, I refilled the carts for my oki printer with toner I had bought from that well known auction site, went OK but the colours didn’t seem anywhere near as good so I will be going back to oki toner when they next need to be done.
It’s not used for customers work other than showing visuals but if it were I wouldn’t be happy with the colour at all.
