    Re: How Long Servicing Office Equipment

    Started in 2001 and haven't looked back. This job has its ups, downs and WTF moments. I started off with Sharp SF/SD analog machines as they were starting to come out of the field. Then from analog to digital, then to color, and now networking.

                    24 years for me. Was a Radar engineer for 5 years before that. Been through different systems, countries, companies and manufactures. Serviced Konica, Ubix, Harris 3M, Lanier, Selex, Toshiba, Canon, Ricoh, Sharp, Kyocera. It looks like the average years of techs in this forum is about 25 years! Glad to be here!

                        It sounds even more painful that 25 years in the field. In your case you are blindfolded, and at the mercy of the individual honesty of the caller, and they're not always honest. More lately I find myself in this role. "No ... look again ... " =^..^=
                        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.

                            Been doing this for 7 years now as a Ricoh only tech. Worked for Ricoh direct for 3 years and left for a dealer when they bought Ikon. I was told if you stay in this field for 5 years you are stuck in this field. It looks like they are right.
