Usually in the Kyocera Service Manuals ( in the Appendixes Section ) , you can find a " Repetitive Defect Gauge " .
I am not sure about other Copiers/Printers ----- Can't hurt to look though .

Ricoh used to have a table with the circumferences of the various rollers.

hehe missed that. A chart with the roller circumferences would be grate. Cant recall seeing one.

Random thought:

I am a gentleman, with the vocabulary of a sailor.
And I get paid to restrain myself and fix things.

A lady told me yesterday after removing, disassembling, thoroughly cleaning, reassembling and reinstalling the registration unit on a Bizhub 223 (and the damned thing ran when I was done with it!) that I, quote, "have the magic touch."

My reply was a pause, a look aside, and a strained single word sentence of "Professionalism..." just to make her laugh.
If I can't be entertaining then why am I even here?

Re: The random thought thread

So your'e ok with all the other images on the cards (like the flying sled and the pregnant virgin etc)

Here in OZ instead of Reindeer on our xmas cards we have pictures of kangroos pulling a big red jolly coca cola man Santa Claus and his magically sled through the air. The reindeer novelty is still around but is wearing thinner for each generation of children.


The children sing xmas carols with verses like "6 white boomers snow white boomers" , a boomer is a kangaroo.

No snow here in the Tropics....

Re Snow droppings:
We had a problem with the neighbourhood trees and the birds leaving little white droppings everywhere, a huge mess. The trees have now been removed which has the added blessing of causing the noisy birds to move on.

I can remember looking towards the sky where the nieghbours trees once where with sincere thankfulness and true appreciation while I meantioned something to the affect of "thank christ cows don't fly"....

I've always wondered why there are trees in town. I mean, while they do look nice, roots of trees wreck sewers and sidewalks, trees fall over and crush stuff, and sometimes trees catch fire and incinerate nearby things.
Also, my neighbors have pretty large oak and maple trees that always cover my front yard with leaves. While normally I just let the leaves mulch into the yard, it was bad enough this year that I had to run the push mower over the entire front yard four times just to grind the leaves up enough to be unseeable. Lucky thing my front yard is pretty small.
I used to have actual mulching blades for the eighty dollar riding mower, but I destroyed them when I hit the municipal water shut off while trimming the grass between the sidewalk and the street a few years ago. D'oh.

Still haven't worked out why we have snow on Christmas cards in Oz.

Re: The random thought thread

I'm headed to the ski resort every Wednesday for the rest of the season. Will be up there with my shrink(the Mrs.)[emoji57]. Best therapy ever.[emoji106]

Leave it that way!!Its wet cold horrible stuff and the closest I ever want to get to it again is on a Christmas card.
People who pay vast amounts of money to go and "play" in it should be made to see a psychologist.

I have 3 vacations planned for next year, all of them involve snow. Mouna Kea for early snow, Tahoe for the best snow and Swiss alps for late season snow. I guess I should see a psychologist?

Re: The random thought thread

Here we have the hard stuff. Hail, we get that for Christmas.
Dimpled cars are about to go into fashion again.

If your really quick about it you can make a hail man.

Re: The random thought thread

Can you believe there is people like me who never touched snow before. Seen some from miles away.
