Canon C5030 New to me

[Desert Rat]

I just got the service manual and I am beginning to work on a unit for a customer.
I have not worked on this model before and I just thought to ask, "How much trouble
am I in for with this model." Anything odd I should know about?
Is this a fairly good unit? My customer will not be doing to much more than 2-3 thousand
pages in color per month. But I really don't know.

Thanks

There have been a wealth of tech pubs on issues in this Advanced Series.
Too many to list here, First thing is to make sure FIRMWARE is up to date.

Ver 83.04.01-V2

Teckat,
I printed the copy service report from P-print. The DC-CON version is 63.01.
A page and a half later it ends the firmware versions for everything in the machine. Do these usually
update when the DC-CON is updated?
I noticed that some of the items under counter are over their rated life. Like the T-CLN-BD sez 195%.
It looks like the transfer cleaning blade. The copies are clear and sharp. Looks good b/w & clr.
So how far over the rated life do some of the parts go?
I was looking for a way to change the toner. It's not asking for it but I saw something about that you
have to tell it to open the toner door?
I need to look for an operators handbook or disc.

Thank teckat
