The source of these misunderstandings is the lack of information in most printing software. Since most OEMs focus on items such as printer operation, feature usage, and basic troubleshooting, the information contained on printer components is almost nil. As a result, people no longer know which product to buy to continue their printing work.
What is a toner cartridge?
Toner cartridges are used to store and distribute toner for copying for copiers and printing pages for printers. Most printers have different toner cartridges. However, some printers use the same toner cartridge model.
The life of the toner cartridge is shorter than the life of the photoconductor. The main reason for this is that the durability of the toner cartridge decreases as the page is printed. Although it can be cleaned and refilled, print quality will eventually decrease. Once the number of refills is exceeded, the current toner cartridge must be replaced.
What is a photoconductor kit?
A photosensitive drum kit consists of a set of photosensitive drums (also called photosensitive drums). This is the part where the laser printer takes the laser image. The photosensitive drum picks up toner particles from the ink cartridge and transfers them to the paper.
Some printers contain photosensitive drums and toner cartridges within the ink cartridges. Some printers, such as the Lexmark E332, have a separate toner cartridge and photosensitive drum kit. Printer design depends on the OEM. The life of a separate photoconductor kit is generally longer than that of a toner cartridge.
In conclusion
