      Our search engine is worthless. This search engine was put up by one of our members, and works quite nicely:
      Copytechnet Forum Search - Via Google

      =^..^=
      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.

        Not that I would want it widely known, but I tried searching for C35 and got nothing. Yeah, I know, but I've actually fixed a few! Then I tried various Konica Minolta models and got nothing either. I got this email today:

              FYI.... I click the link you provided it work okay my end.

              You might be getting redirected through google.adverts or amazon servers, I-drive , luna.brease servers, blaa blaa... To keep it simple, some of these servers will intercept your web pages and redirect them through their advert servers which might be overlaying your copytechnet pages with advertisements. The advert server may even go as far as removing your incoming web page hyperlinks or spoofing those links to redirect you to more advertisement. My copytechnet thanks like buttons sometimes go wandering. Yes advertisement profiling(brain-adds) slows down your browser access an it's a real PITA.

              Try this temporary fix:
              Go into your browser and delete all your entire cache history.
              In a dos windown type in :
              ipconfig /flushdns

              After that type in :
              ipconfig /displaydns
              (To keep track of which advert servers are accessing your PC DNS cache.)

              If you don't have an advert blocker you may like to source some free ones off the internet. IMHO I don't particularly like advert blockers because I believe they slow my browser down even more.

              To search copytechnet with google or bing, use the below in the search engine edit box
              Example fully type :
              search site:copytechnet.com C35
              or maybe
              search site:copytechnet.com Don N.

                I copy & paste the email link in a different browser I never use, and never been on copytechnet with before. It still goes to same wrong user's page... also the reply from EarthKMTech is not at the end of the thread that the email sent me points to. Maybe he deleted his comment?

                  That's a shame, too. I liked that a lot.

                    Could be that EarthKmTech looked at their post after a little bit and thought, "Wait a minute, that won't work at all." and then deleted that post. You'd still get the email.
