HAHAHA you won't believe this one!

so, I notice, the "add carrier" prompt...

grab a box, head to igen. get a phone call. Phone up to my ear, a'la stay at home mom cooking dinner, I THEN open the bottle and start pouring.

only...the powder...its yellow.

what in the....

Welp. there had been a bottle of yellow developer sitting on the back of the igen. Look over and see the unopened carrier bottle by the phone base

and you guessed it...

SON OF A NUTCRACKER! LOLOLOLOLOL

THough part of me wanted to see how horrible prints would be just because....I Stopped immediately, figuring the less to clean the better.

seriously, how screwed am I? im guessing vac out the carrier hopper, refill , then go from there?

<punches self in face>

 

dangit they look the same. in my defense....(if there is any defending this)

see attachment.

 

It'll be fine. The amount pushed into the tanks will get flooded with the correct toner so hide the yellow toner. Carrier is dev anyway without the toner (usually around 4% in a new bottle of dev)

yeah the bigger problem when untrained operator dumps fuser fluid in the carrier opening. very messy

 

Thanks Mark, but you were 5 minutes too late I was SORT OF thinking that....but wasnt sure.

At first it looked a pain... But, It is pretty simple to take apart the lid. bunch of screws, but nothing fancy. However, the screws on the lid were applied by Hercules.

I was able to only vac the top inch or so, then wipe the sides. it should be ok. I figure I got about a cup or so into the hopper before my dumba$$ looked down and saw the yellow

AND:

CISCO.

tell me you are kidding? I feel slightly better about myself, but Im shocked thinking of the cleanup of that. LOL

 

LMAOF....dont feel bad..on an igen3 I once put cyan developer in the black hopper .....Had to take it all apart at vacuumed the hell out of it ..no-one ever new LOL

 

beauty!

figured id tell you fine folks...but theres NO way in hell I was placing a service call, or having my company find out I lost a day because I am a *****.

L-O-L

 

LOL, I thought I was the only nut around here.....I agree with peels, no service call , already feel bad enough for doing such a thing, don't need a service tech to rub it in.
