Re: Which copier was the biggest piece of crap ever?

i'm going to keep adding the MPC 6000 untill there all dead. Called out to 1 for jamming - picker bar ordered. fitted next day lifted the unit up and a bearing had collapsed- copies were coming out fine and had no issue of creasing either. ordered all the bearings - fitted today and it ripped the belt off. You low life piece of ************

Going to have to +1 this. Those fusers are a megabitch to work on, and the previous generation was the same basic layout, but took 1/3 the time to PM and if they ever would have put a decent hot roller in it they would have went well beyond 200 - 300K. PCU's are also a nightmare to PM with lots more headaches.

Which copier was the biggest piece of crap ever?

1st) the nightmare of the ricoh copiers .. toner everywhere


2nd) xerox copiers with that proprietary laptop workstation to reset codes .. customers are too sad when we can not service their copiers for a reasonable price.

Spent many days on Toshiba eStudio 3511, 4511. Hated them, they included the finisher, and bridge unit and was a nightmare to repair. You had basically strip the whole machine to get to any part, the worst was cleaning the laser slip glass and used to soil 2-3 times a week. Glad the gone.

While the analog Konica 7090 with a normal Konica doc feeder and sorter were OK machines, the 7090RF, the one with the goofy document jammer (rumored to be some sort of punishment from Kodak) and some sort of alien sorter sent back in time to conquer Earth were awful.
The wires, the horrible moving, breaking wires!

Samsung CLX-6210. The things eat image cartridges and the transfer belts aren't much better. I don't think we have had any consumable last full life on any of them.

The biggest piece of crap is canon IR 6800, 5800. I hate them from the bottom of my heart. . Constant problems with fixing unit... when i think a little better, constant problems with everything.....

Now I will agree with you on these, I seen many of them when starting out, the old SF-2116, 2118, 2020, 2120, if it used that little SF-216DR it was a pain, waste toner bottle on top of the drum unit, when full whole drum unit had to come out to empty, if you could, on yes, waste toner sat pretty dang nearly on top of the fuser unit, so waste toner came out in chunks, and working on the fuser unit...OMG...onl;y the upper half came out, lower roller stayed in thre, there was this plate that the sep fingers were in, most times we left the fingers out, just put the plate in, after you cleaned it off, needed a stubby to get that out, but had to keep the toner off, if it built up too much, it would lock the fuser up, and did I mention, it was a CLAMSHELL type, ie, vise grips on the strut
