    Test chart

    I know I have posted before about not using things for a long time. Like not using meters, vacuums, corona wire, etc. Just realized today I haven't used a test chart but maybe 3 times the whole year. I'll print test pages and use them.

    Does anyone else want to add what isn't being used as much in the copier repair industry anymore, tools, chemicals, etc:

    I'll start the list with has already been mentioned,

    vacuum

    meter

    corona wire

    test charts

    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.

    Ha-ha great answers! I like the brain post the best. And there is some truth to that with these self diagnostic machines. I remember when there were no codes! You were in a customer's office and felt like you were on a remote island. Probably a good reason for no codes back in those early days was, of course not being digital, but there were no displays to even show a code
