I've
dismantled said cartridges (and put them back together), but I've
never refilled one. What toner do you use, and where do you find it?
I don't know. 20+ years ago, we bought toner intended for them. The staff in the computer lab learned the hard way
that PC and CX
cartridges were NOT the same, didn't fit the other machine, and the toner
was "of reversed polarity"
I am not sure what that last bit means. Certainly at least one of the
corona wires is of the opposite polarity between the printer and
photocopier (that's how you get write-for-black in the printer nad
write-for-white in the copier). I beleiuve the toner power is different,
but I am not sure how,
anybody who wanted 4 CX machines (one of which was the
Fedex model with
different specs)
IIRC, the FedEx model was a silly colour (but that's just the casing
parts) and had different clock crystals so that the scanner motor ran
faster. I think it did 400dpi or so (as against the 300 dpi of the normal
model).
I suspec the only people still running such things now are those who have
classic machines with the direct video interface and can't use a more
modern printer.
