Hi, I have a lexmark c530dn printer and the pc units are showing low and have been for some time but its still printing out fine. When is it a good idea to change them? Am I doing any damage leaving them in?

Cheers

Hello Phil and welcome to PC Help Forum.

I usaly leave myne in my printer untill there empty.The warning is realy reminding you to buy more.
Just hope you are not printing a lot of documnets and the ink runs out.

Once empty I would replace straight away.

Hi thanks for the response. I usually do leave the toners in until they are visually running out but how do you tell when the pc unit/imaging drum is low. I have got the messages showing low units but dont see any changes with the prints visually.

Thanks

I am not sure but it should show the printer ink levels.
Maybe your printer heads need a clean is there an option for this?

no its a laserprinter as oppose to an inkjet. From my understanding the PC units are the printers imaging drum unit! I could be wrong...

See I have a Epson.Is there a choice on the printer levels to refresh?

Ah I just read lexmark help and it says you have to reset this option manualy.

great! Do you know what affect it would have on your printout when the photoconductos run out? Would it just fade like a toner would do?

Thanks
