    Hello,

    i've a xerox docucolor 240, I've bought the printer second hand and there were some töner cartridges with it. Now my question is how long can I use those and how long can you keep them? I read some were that the durability is very long, they can not dry out? But is it bad for the system, can it lead to constipation in my töner channels?

    Some one who have experience with this??? Thx a lot in front!!

    Maybe one of the techs here can offer you a better answer, but from a practical standpoint, I would be very surprised if you run into any quality issues using toner/developer that is 1-3 years old. With our previous canons we've used toner/drums (w.developer) that has been 5 years old without any visible issue. In practice, I wouldn't worry about it if you just have less than a dozen on hand. If you have a warehouse, maybe someone that knows more can jump in :)

    no danger for toner in a dry area just shake well before use but for the machin you are better to use it sometimes laser machine is made for running.
