I'm curious about your statement that you have 18,000 pages on your PC cartridge. We have a thousand or so pages on our new LC890 and would appreciate tips on how you can extend the life of the PC cartridge. Where do you remove the excess toner from? – Don Nafis – Nazlo Associates Ltd –

Don One of my Tech people did the work for me, but he took a piece of black plastic,put tape on the edges. He the covered the cartridge to block out the light. He then drilled a small hole in the corner of the toner well. He then removed the toner and place a piece of tape over the hole. It worked like new. We also reset the counter on the LC-890. If you need more details I will be glad to get the answers. A extra $100.00 to spend on software, is the way I look at it. Bob Naffziger – Vivid Copy Inc.

Thanks for the info on the LC890. It seems like NEC screwed up in the design if that is all you have to do to get more life out of the PC Cartridge. – Don Nafis – Nazlo Associates Ltd –
