Piss Poor Technical Questions

Re: Piss Poor Technical Questions

Well, we all know that having 500,000 copies or 50,000 copies has no impact on how a machine runs. Rollers will always last forever.


The term "tech" is also being used by parts changers. You have to be prepared to think out of the box, pardon the cliche. Sometimes the machines don't break like the manual says. If you don't understand how it makes copies, you will have an even more difficult time trying to understand why it doesn't make them any more.

Ricoh used to have a Detailed Description section in the service manual. There were numerous ties that I used that section to see what should be happening in order to determine what the actual problem was.

Some will not like what i have to say here, but nevertheless if you look back at some of the threads the sources are there. CTN has in a way encourage some techs to run and post their problems here with the expectation that someone has the answer and it will save them the hassle of looking at the manuals or even the web for possible answers...

I hope am not part of this group. I like to think that I encourage independent thinking. =^..^=

Well, Mr.blackcat, you are definitely not in the group as your statement is clearly written on the bottom of each post. I was looking for the thread that i mentioned , but could not find it. I have to backup what i say. Well, it is well known in the business too, at least where i work, nobody wants to use the service manuals only the parts manuals they are interested in. Hope i have not offended anyone.

I like the guy TEKAT. His answers are take right from the manuals. He points you to where you should be looking.

I will frequently refer to the manual or to Gooses Guide when answering a question on Ricoh. It prevents answer with the right answer but for the wrong model. It also gets details such as SP settings correct. Other questions are so generic in nature that referencing is not necessary. For myself, when doing maintenance services, I like to have the service manual open, especially when rebuilding TCRU items for Production models. Prevents missed steps.

Actually, that's why I joined CTN.
I had no idea that the noise reducing pads on solenoids caused problems before that.

Reminds me of something I heard as a child:
That's life.
What's life?
A magazine.
How much does it cost?
Two-fifty.
I only have a dollar.
