    It's been about 3 years that I've been hearing "It's being beta tested in certain areas of the country", yet nobody knows where or when that will change.

      Hmmm.... let's see, it places an order any time the machine is below 20% remaining, enters a near end condition, or an actual toner end. Ricoh ships 2 bottles at a time - you do the math.

        How about every manufacturer makes sure the metal is razor sharp right where you have to reach into the machine with your hands! Nothing like pulling a connector off a board and taking a knuckle off at the same time.

          You can usually tell the success of the repair on whether you've offered the machine a blood sacrifice. Conversely, you can assume it's going to be an unsuccessful repair if you've replaced all the covers before testing.

              Mirror image ?

              Negative image?

              Without digital electronics we would not have been able to do it. Now we have it we don't need it.

                I have a customer, an architect, believe it or not, who use daily negative images for presenting designs. This customer had until recently a Minolta EP-4300 with a white toner unit to copy white images on black paper.
