Joe,
you said 'Printers lock themselves to whatever is loaded first. If it is a new machine with the toners it came with, and you put metered toner in, it becomes a metered machine.'
that is NOT true!!!
if you want to use metered toners/ink in xerox printer, you WILL need to buy whatever model you wish to use as a metered machine, example---> I bought a xerox 7800DN on APRIL 2017 and loaded it FIRST with metered toners, I did not use the toners (sold) that came with the machine, and I got a error msg of: INVALID TONER! ,, I should have bought the xerox 7800DNM not the 7800DN,
so your response of 'Printers lock themselves to whatever is loaded first. If it is a new machine with the toners it came with, and you put metered toner in, it becomes a metered machine.'
that is F A L S E ! ! !
HOWEVER, that may be ONLY true if that accurs at the xerox
factory when they manufacture them, when they load either SOLD or METERED toners, then I can see it accepting whatever type of
toner then, but by the time the printer reaches the consumer, ITS TOO LATE!
