    We've been told all machines get new OF's at PM intervals. Your balls will be chewed off if you do not comply!
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.

    it is a legal requirement that all ozone filters are replaced at the correct interval. The tech that was supposed to change out the filters is the legally responsible person, so if there are any law suits due to illness caused by ozone, it is the tech that gets sued and maybe inprisonment. as far as i know there was a tech in the uk that got sued and was fined over a thousand pounds for breaching health and safety laws.

    So I change them at every pm.

    Stand behind a Ricoh Pro C900 with the electronics box in service position (all the OF's are in the box) while its running, I dare you. These machines have a total of 12 charge wires and move more air around than a jet engine.

    All those old toner stains will be bleached out of your shirt, your slacks will be white (so will your teeth), Your hair will turn grey - before it falls out that is, and your testicles will shrivel (female techs may substitute a body part of their choice here, although exposure to that much ozone may cause you to grow a set so they can be shriveled.)

    On the plus side dry cleaning your lungs in this manner may cure emphysema, asthma, and freshens your breath.

    Most machines I change them about every other PM, but the C900 is changed on time, every time.

    I always wondered if there was a hole in the ozone layer why they didn't just get some machines and load them on the Shuttle.
    Then open that big door...pull the ozone filters and run multiple copies of the U.S. budget. That should fill the hole.

    How do you know when they are "full"? Sounds like trying to understand carbon credits.

    dito. I remember a customer from years back on a high end minolta and they were complaining of headaches and feeling sick....... why, because the ozones had never been replaced. Thankfully the customer never knew what was causing it and my then service manager changed them. I learned from his mistake as the responsibilty for my work stops with me.

    I change them if included in the pm or consumable item. Usually the black toner or image unit on the office machines.

    I change it if it's in the PM kit. But with the color machines, where it's included in the black toner, 99% of customers just throw it away without knowing what it is, because reading instructions is hard.

    Just heft the filter in you hand. That ozone gets heavy. Be careful not to spill any on the floor.

    But seriously, Unless you've brought your portable laboratory, I don't think that there's a definitive field test. Maybe just age? =^..^=
    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.
