    I think most seasoned techs have had one of these repairs. I know I have.

    I can't count how many copyboard glasses I've changed. I guess copiers just look too much like chairs.

    Oh, and I can't wait for the inevitable explanation! "It just broke!?" =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Way back when we used to go through a lot of girls at the front desk, I would break the new ones in by getting one of my soilder buddies to call the shop and report that one of his men tried it and when the glass broke he got his "junk" caught in the cables and he needs a tech fast. Those were some funny phone calls.

    Back in the 90s, Oce made a "library" copier that fit large books nicely.

    I think that glass was nearly indestructible.

    The official word from Mita back in the day was a maximum of 6# pressure on the copyboard glass. I personally can apply over 50# pressure with just my pinkie finger, and I'm not that strong. =^..^=

    I think the number from Canon at that time was about the same.

    Was that right around the time that copiers started getting the "enlargement" feature?

    There used to be an SNL parody commercial for the assmaster 2000. A piece of copier glass molded like your butt cheeks. I tried to find it but failed.

    I can only imagine what type of hits you got when you Googled "assmaster".
