firmware
Nothing too crazy, strip club and a nuclear power plant for me. A guy I used to work with worked on a liquid machine on a submarine--I thought that was pretty cool.
Holy shit!!! I just worked with lazy, messed up techs where the fleas of a thousand camels had infested their armpits. This one tech would occasionally show up with two different shoes and said that...
Parts Now is huge. Also, I use a company called PartsMart and they are so cheap with their printer maintenance parts. I get quite a bit of my bulk rollers and stuff from them, like mirror motors and...
I used to work at a place where a print shop (with two 1105’s and two 1075’s) was a customer and they were time-and-materials only. When I started with the company, this was in my “territory” so I...
Maybe you'll get off the hook and it'll be something simple, like the prints coming from another drawer and it is set for portrait but the machine thinks it's supposed to be landscape.
Since you...
Hmmm, if you've reset the counter back to 0, and power-cycled the machine, there must be a bent pin or bad sensor.
I believe that the firmware made an adjustment in the timing so that the motor...
Once you reset that code to 0, you will have to shut the machine off then back on for the machine to 'see' the change.
Ahhh, that just made my morning!!!:D:D
That would be funny if a customer ACTUALLY did put the phone up to a constipated bear, rather than having me try to hear a faint sound from a copier across...
When you say that you have a jam, are you not able to get a single copy to pass through the fuser unit?
Take the front cover of the fuser off and make sure that when you are performing the...
On digital boxes, you really don't mess with exposure adjustments. The adjustments to be made will be to dv bias, etc.
Before you go and tweak these settings, you probably have another issue,...
You have good customers Oz. :D
Yeah, the 4200 series are good machines. The 4250's have a fuser swing gear assembly that has to be replaced which is a bit involved, but the printer is a good engine. Surprisingly, I still have a...
Well, at least it's nice to know that others still use the cardboard box 'catch-all-to-shut-them-up-while-parts-are-on-order' technique.
People initially think it's stupid until they find out...
That setting should be under the user tools. I believe there is some sort of initial mode or primary mode setting....I don't have the user tools manual downloaded.
Static Control is a company I use and they are great, but I refill/rebuild most all of my own cartridges so they supply the "goods" to do that.
If you just want reman'd cartridges, there's a ton...
I generally push around 600-700k, some go even up to a mil. The PM interval for the fuser & press rollers are 500k, so I try to hit them every other PM.
As Shadow said, it very well might be...
Is there a dedicated fax line or is a phone switch being used? Although it should not make a difference, I've had phone switches act weird with some of the Ricoh boxes.
Nos is right about that...
One more reason why I keep a very bright keychain flashlight.:D
Of course, a flashlight wouldn't have done a hell of a lot of good in THAT situation!!!!
I guess my thoughts of, "Why is it...
I would hope that a gift certificate purchase doesn't "code" the receipt with some red-flag so that when she goes back in to get cash, your return is not allowed.
If not, then you've found a...
Yeah, it is funny. Another thing I think is funny is when a show mentions something referring to a copier. Two that stick in my mind are:
1) In the now cancelled NBC show Las Vegas, Danny was...
It may be user error. They may be tripping the entrance sensor to make it beep, then moving the paper or doing something else to cause the paper to not be sitting where it needs to be.
Is it set...
Actually, I think the systems are downgraded to the slower machines. I assume it can be done in the field, but why?
When I posted, I tried to be objective in answering what he was asking. I do...
If you can, trying to have machine specialists can help reduce spotty inventory levels. At the last place I was at, where we had about 25 techs, we "sort of" had territories and specialists. In our...
I like to give props when I feel it's necessary.
I do think it's funny when someone has four posts and a rep power of eight or something. :cool:
If someone has a good/funny/productive post, I...
