Toner Supply with Additional Colors
Introduction
By default, the developer stations are supplied by a toner suction system consisting of
toner bottles weighing 6 kg (13.2 lb) each (see ‘Refilling Toner (Standard: 6 kg / 13.2 lb
Toner Bottle)’ on page 318). As an option, the developer stations for CustomTone colors
can also be filled with 1kg (2.2 lb) each (see ‘Refilling Toner (Option: 1 kg / 2.2 lb Toner
Bottle)’ on page 324).
Attention:
Avoid incidence of light
All 10 slots must be occupied either with developer stations or light protection covers. If
a developer station is removed and stored without being replaced by another developer
station, a light protection cover must be fitted in this slot. If you wish to re-install a de-
veloper station, you must first remove the light protection cover.
Asymmetric Configuration
For CustomTone printing systems, different colors can be used in the upper and lower
print units. Asymmetric configurations of developer stations are possible between the
upper and lower print units. In this way, for example, it is possible for Service to enable
three slots in the upper print unit and two slots in the lower print unit.
In the case of full-color printing systems, a fixed installation sequence is defined for CMYK
color stations. Additional CustomTone color stations can be configured asymmetrically.
Additional Color Stations
In the case of CustomTone printing systems, free and unoccupied slots for developer
stations can also be used as "shelves" for developer stations with additional colors after
being prepped by Service personnel. This enables the activation of different color stations.
If more colors are required than the number of slots available, it is necessary to replace
the developer station (see ‘Replacing the developer station — overview’ on page 165).
