    If you don't see your question answered in the forum, please don't think it's OK to PM me for a personal reply...I do not give out firmware and/or manuals.

      Please tell me that it's 9 degrees Celcius!

      That's only 48.2 degrees Farenenheit, but still cold. Brrrrrrrrr.

        You snicker.

        Years ago, one of my biggest accounts was a frozen food company.

        Most of their machines were in nice warm offices, but some, let's just say, were not.

        Good think it was back in the day of the good 'old analog machines; I think anything digital would have revolted.

        What song were you thinking, anyway?

          Once had a account that was typically cold, but on monday morning if you were in there you could cut glass with your nipples. I used to bypass the door and let the fuser heat up when I first got there on a monday morning call. Amazingly, the clc worked great there, would have thought there would have been more issue, probably only because it had a heavy duty cycle.

                I freeze with the aircon on 18c... Would never survive there! Living in a coastal town in sunny South Africa, one really becomes unfamiliar with the cold :^)

                        We had a grocery store chain account with Canon NP2120's. I'll readily admit that these copiers were jammomatics, but they didn't deserve having the op panel punched through every visit. It probably didn't help that the machines were placed in an entryway with automatic doors on each end, so that in the winter the temperature varied from 35F to 60F, and in the summer 75F to 90F. It was normal to be standing in 3" of snow or getting drizzled on while servicing the machine. And the machine got a steady bashing with grocery carts.

                        Also, a creative set of endusers managed to drop coins in every crevice on the machine. The coins in the op panel shorted out what was left of the PCB. The coins in the manual feed scratched the drum. I'd recover $5 or more of coins jammed in the body of the machine each visit. It never came close to covering the cost of the op panels. =^..^=
                        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.
