    The Copier Network

    Have you noticed that they've gone? I noticed today that the webpage does not connect. =^..^=
    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.

    Re: The Copier Network

    Haven't been there in years and totally forgot about them. Since I have CRS, were they around when Smarka was? Kind of seems like it.
    Started in the copier service business in the fall of 1988 and worked at the same company for 33.5 years, becoming the senior tech in 2004 but left to pursue another career on 4/29/22.

      Searching "the copier network archives" one of the results indicated that they had been around since 1997.

      Here's a thread from 6 years ago about the disappearance of smarka.
      Can you enter smarka.com today ?

        I popped in occasionally to find no activity for 3 or 4 months. It's kinda sad to see it die. =^..^=

              Smarka was my first and eternal...The Copier Network was great for 4-5 years but I think they lost most of good techs and that was the beginig of their downfall.
              A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
              Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

                Same here. That's were we learned how to reset the IU counter on Minolta EP2130's. Saved us a bunch of money back in the day. Lots of other good Minolta stuff on Smarka back then, too. I had a printout of all the stuff we used from there frequently and carried it in my toolbox for years. Tossed it years ago because all those analog machines it pertained to died.

                    There wasn't a Kyocera-Mita I couldn't fix without the help of the boys at Dnet-km.com Been gone at least 5 years now.
