What age group are you in?

Re: What age group are you in?

You know what this was a great process, standard 80gsm paper end result glossy! Those fusers never went wrong!

Cold pressure fusing is the way forward IMO

Could you imagine that thing running at 100+ pppm? The clatter of the steel rollers banging together would make anyone deaf.
(Been at it 35 years so far so yes,I have worked on these)

Seniors (15+yrs): " Actually forgot almost everything. " Yes I have pushed a lot of old data from the grey matter... but I have replaced with new and more of "new" life skills have filled some voids.. but after 31 years... I guess some old shit has got to go!

I thought so Mr. 31 year. I am at 35 years. That explains our attitude. Grumpy old men

I swore I posted in here but I guess I just answered the poll. In my 31st year and 53 years old. Looks like there are more of us older guys than not which doesn't surprise me.

Re: What age group are you in?

Wow. You are all old ass men. Make way for the new generation of HYBRID TECHS with networking skills and not dumping every problem to the customers IT Dept. In fact, even becoming the IT company of choice FOR the user.[emoji41]

I started as the network install tech when I was 23. Been on the industry 5 years. Thankfully, I ask a lot of questions and Google is my best friend.

Just letting all of you old farts know, Hybrid Techs are the future, and the future is now old men. The future is now. [emoji41]

You know that's interesting. To be fair, you're not normal then. If you read the report from Copier careers, it seems like the old gen of techs for the most part refuse to learn, or fail to learn any computational networking skills.

And if they do, it's only extent of driver/ and basic scanning installation.

I started this career when I was 22 (2008). Started with mono machines (Konica) then moved to ricoh. Office based since 2014 doing helpdesk calls and MPS pre sales. Now planning to take on MCSE, unlike Phil, my wife supports me on that.

Old tech here.57 and been doing it for 35 years.I did learn networking.Got myself Microsoft certified along with A+ and network+.It helps out a lot.The only problem is that customers think that because they have a service contract for the machine we should do their network work for FREE.

Re: What age group are you in?

I will be 33 started working on copiers when I was 21 as a setup tech. I then moved into the field and Production KM equipment.
I've jumped companies and after being here 5 years I moved over to more of the IT side as an installer/analyst.
Service still has me help every now and then since I'm trained on everything KM.

Re: What age group are you in?

Oh those things were fun. Xerox used them a lot in their production analog machines think 1090, 5680 maybe? I think Kodak and Canon had a machine back in the day that used them Canon 9800 II maybe? I can't remember the model numbers.

Re: What age group are you in?

I've seen a few, but no idea how they worked.

A customer would drag one of these things out of the closet and ask me how it worked. I sure don't know. It's no technology I've ever seen. =^..^=

I believe it was the same principle has the moving and stationary scanners except the lense took and entire image at once and the charge went on a belt then moved to attract the toner then moved to transfer to the paper. I've only seen them in the 80+ppm to 135ppm analog machines. I think the idea was to save on wear and tear of a moving scanner but I remember older machines about as fast with moving scanners that predated them.

The only other reason I can think of to use the stationary lense is that Kodak actually had an old machine also rebranded as a canon and Kodak used to be big into cameras so maybe they owned the technology rights but not a moving scanner rights.?
