What's in laser copiers that make them so heavy?

Re: What's in laser copiers that make them so heavy?

I had a low end Canon MF8350Cdn which I thought was heavy at about 65 lbs. I just replaced it with an HP Color Laserjet CM3530 which is over 100 lbs. It's insane how heavy this thing is, I can't even lift it to put it on my desk, I'm going to have to wait until someone else is here to help me.

What in the world is in these copiers? It almost seems that it couldn't possibly be so heavy if it was filled with led. Do they intentionally add weight for theft prevention or do they really have to be this heavy and if so what makes them so heavy?

BTW this new HP is MILES ahead of the Canon machine it replaced, absolutely everything about it is miles better.

Thanks

First: remove the paper from the trays.
Second: There is a magnet at the bottom of the copier. Demagnetize it so i t doesn't grab the metal stand you have the copier on.
That should work.

WHAT ????? There are so many ones and zeros in a PDF that they must weigh something.........
Not to mention all those electrons ...

The 'ones' have some weight but not the zeros. It's the protons that give matter the weight and mass. But it doesn't matter to me.

Thank you jules winfred for that" performance appraisal", I feel good & it is refreshing to learn that someone on this forum has noticed my ability to "compete" with mr. blackcat for " master of the obvious" title championship of this forum. This is a healthy development, Since it will give our 'customers' value for money.

It also ensures that 'there will be continuity' on this forum of people with matching talents like blackcat, since others are being 'groomed' to 'replace' him when he 'retires'.

ALUTA CONTINUA!!!

Yes, that title is now 'up 4 grabs'; The defending champion has held it for so long & still holding on to it.
Another 'BULL' has now now entered the 'Kraal' - A " Buffalo Soldier, in the heart of America," all the way from 'The PEARL of AFRICA'.
It is going to be a very tough fight though, which will make that between DAVID & GOLIATH look like a "Tea- party".

A closer look at the defending champion's (blackcat's) profile almost made my heart miss a beat: with 6000+ Posts, over 75+ Rep Power, years of field experience with untainted records, And a long lists of friends & supporters in this forum is scaring me stiff! I hope I will not end up becoming one of his SNACKS. But I will give the challenge a trial. That Title is worth fighting for.

Referee for the Match: JULES Winfield.

This thread has been great to follow... I'm just waiting on aab1's next "brilliant" question/statement thread to start.

Maybe we can ask our site admin to create a separate section for him.

Defiantly the laser light...I've never seen a feather burn a hole in a steel plate!

Someone suggested that title a few years back, and it has stuck.
When something is patently obvious and doesn't need explaining, I'm the cat to do it. =^..^=

Wow ! That's new information to me. I didn't know the Title is Patented! Sorry, members will now miss the match, since it is illegal & unnecessary.

Sounds like a "Mythbusters" episode. Why not ask them?

Only if they can do the cement truck explosion with a Canon iR31xxC series machine!!!
