    leaving to join an asylum for my own health😡

    i feel as though I've opened up Pandora's box. Started off with a cracked port in the controller pwb. Fitted & ordered 4x pcu(pm due) 2 arrived damaged and 1 giving lines out of the box. Ordered again, another turns up bust & now it's clogged up the transfer waste unit & damged the waste pipe seal.

    ok fitting a pipe is a bitch with every cover practically removed, new Image transfer belt unit & cleaner fitted. I've had issues fitting a new ITB unit not turning so I turn it manually before fitting - bastard belt has now shredded!!!! Not even 1 copy yet

            I think we all agree that the effing titanic named Ricoh needs to sink!...I'll take a Kyo any day over a Ricoh!

            With Ricoh, it's "same shit, different day"!...they don't learn from their damn engineering mistakes (...shitty engineering!) or overengineer shit so much that the "weakest link" in the chain of "checks and balances" takes the whole fucking system down!

            DOH!

                Other than dumping toner like crazy, I kinda liked the Ricohs in the 90's. They must have slipped a little since then.

                It's sounds like you had a hell of a day. For me, other than being yelled at for no good reason, the calls have been easy. =^..^=
                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.

                  Chill out Bishop, it's the weekend, it's going to be at least 72 hours before you see another copier.


                  And remember if alcohol isn't the answer you're not asking the right question!

                      Started off ok until again a mettis turdling gave the customer an excuse to bite me. Fitted a side unit FOC but the machine faulted out 2 days later with an intermittent line? Turns out the customers pissed because it's being over used so I got the flak! Charming I must say.

                        Sorry, it's been a long hot summer and I'm down to my last 3 dozen bottles of home brew. Barely enough to keep me going until the weather cools off enough to start brewing again.

                        Don't know how you can blame the Delightful Debs for your run of bad luck, thought she would more likely to wave her magic wand and put some sparkle in your life

                          Only 3 dozen bottles left, you can't be under too much stress then. Are they large bottles or stubbies ?

                          The weather appears fine for Brewing, I've put down 3 brews over the last 3 weeks.
                          First brew was a bit weak, but the last two have been going okay. I have another one brewing at the moment. I should get to it sometime this week.

                          With all the rain around you should be getting cooler weather down your way.

                            I applaud your efforts at a home brew; one of our techs does the same, and I gratefully accept his 'donations'.

                              Have always brewed longnecks, you have to work twice as hard for stubbies.
                              Since we down sized to the current house we don't have the room for a gutted out fridge to keep the brew keg at a stable temp so just have to wait until until the ambient temp drops a bit or the yeast reacts to fast and you get a crook tasting batch. My current favorite is Coopers Australian Bitter with Super Alpha hops and 1 kg of dextrose and light malt booster.
