What's the setting to stop the printer from preheating whenever the phone rings?

Lets save the attacks for posts talking about using food powder as toner (that was pretty stupid man....people come on this site during there breaks to try and help people...quit wasting their time).


Third, How can you be worried about people like aab1 stealing our business? This is the kind of person (no offense) that tries to fix everything themselves. You're not going to change their mind on that no matter what. Further more, my company has profited from these types of people. Every time they try to fix one thing they break it twice as much. Means more cost in parts (which if I know they did it I mark it up more :-D ) and more time which means more labor.

The food powder was obviously just a joke.

About people like me making you money, it's the other way around, if I was an average user I would have had to call for a tech for my $700 inkjet a few times, but I was able to fix them all myself in minutes (bad contacts on duplexer sensor [bent them back into place], bad carriage motor after 200 000+ prints [took one out of my older printer and replaced it], and modified it to do 50 000 prints with $200 of ink [0.4 cents per full color page], I posted a photo of mod and video in business forum).

So every single problem I had I was able to fix myself rather than call a tech. Actually on my older $1200 inkjet (previous version to the one I have now, they used to cost more) when I had a problem that both me and HP couldn't fix, they just sent UPS to pick up the 70 lbs printer and delivered a brand new one all completely free.

Actually there is one time I made a problem worst but I knew I was taking a risk, my older $1200 high speed business inkjet needed it's carriage rod lubricated after 80-90 000 prints, I couldn't find the right lubricant in stores so I took a risk and tried silicone lubricant, it immediately got much worst and sounded like birds getting beat up inside whenever it was printing. Shortly after (10-20k prints later) the carriage motor died from the stress caused by the bad lubricant, but it had already paid itself many times over (it was also modded to print full color pages at 0.4 cents a page) and a newer faster 35 pages/minute version came out (the old one was only 25ppm) that was only $700 so I didn't even bother to replace the $5 motor.

How hard is it to run a 20A service to a new outlet? Cost: $50 in materials? Not that hard to try to think of a workaround. How about roll the MFP to another outlet. Why ask copier techs about an obvious AC wiring issue?

The printer is only going to be in this location for another few months, that's why it's not worth adding a circuit.

And my question wasn't about an AC wiring issue, it was simply on how to make the machine stop pulling 1200 watts each time the phone rings, even when it has it's own circuit in a few months, I will still want a way to disable this as it wastes as much power as making a cup of coffee each time the phone rings.

Just like your other post, you're an asshole!!! Go away. Everything you've come to this forum with has been all bullshit and I'm probably not the only one that doesn't believe a word you say.

[KenB]

125 posts and still a Rep Power of zilch.

Kinda says it all, doesn't it?

Go figure.

[Brian8506]

No end user honestly looking for help would go to a tech site like this and start a thread about fruit powder in a toner cartridge or any of the other far fetched threads he's started.

That's funny 'cause I can prove myself right on most points with a single picture that proves:
-That I replaced the carriage motor (see arrows pointing where I soldered the new motor wires to the old ones and covered in electrical tape, the motor from the printer I took the motor from had a different plug so I had to splice and solder the wires)
-That I in fact have the machine connected to four 1 liter ink bottles, and 1 liter per color does make 50 000 color pages (at probably an average of 20-30% coverage, so at least 200 000 at 5%, the ink is extremely dark, even the bottle of yellow ink looks like black ink so it needs very little)

Dude no one gives a toss about your fucking inkjet abortion, no matter how much you wanna talk it up, this is a copier tech forum, where techs come to give and receive valuable info about LASER printers and copiers. Do you see a forum here titled DIY inkjet dreams? I didn't thinks so.

That thread was a joke in case you really didn't realize it.

Exactly, this is a copier tech forum, and that is a high speed 35 ppm business inkjet copier & fax, so it perfectly fits the forum subject (other than this is the canon forum and that isn't a canon machine). Nowhere does it say this is about laser based machines only, copiers can use different printing technologies and the fastests and lowest cost per page machines are inkjet in any price range (for the same price or even less, an inkjet is always much faster and lower cost per page than a laser based machine). Try to find a $200 laser that prints in color at 35ppm like $200 inkjets do, try to find a $25 000 laser that prints at 150 ppm like $25 000 inkjets do. And likely this year memjet is putting out a $200 inkjet that prints at 60ppm and 3600 dpi I beleive.

Can someone please do a abortion on this guy.

I think it's already been done and this is the result, does Texas still have the death penalty?

If you would create a catalog of all your threads, this would catalog every single cheap customer, exceeding the paper specs, won't pay an electrician, save $0.03 cents by unplugging the machine, reusing the waste toner, re-filling the cartridges, pulling out the cartridges so it won't do color calibration, ... did I miss anything?

Everyone of us gets a few of these 'special' customers. The difference is they pay a $125.00 service charge to ask these questions. It all comes down to the same thing. You saved $10. Whoo Hoo! Now you owe the tech $125.00. Maybe we can just totally re-design your machine for you to save you every possible penny, then re-wire your building for you, then give you some free cartridges, then do all of this for you for free? Would that be enough, or do you have any other requests? =^..^=

He does sound like that rape me over the coals person I had to deal with recently...

::grrr baby grrr::

So far I "saved" well over $3000 in just over a month by refilling and using remanufactured cartridges (it costs me $40 and 20 minutes of work to refill a set of cartridges instead of $700 for new ones). I also never reused any waste toner. I didn't really save it though because I would never pay $700 for cartridges that make 2800 prints at 5% coverage, that's absolutely insane when my inkjet can print that much for $10 instead of $700.

If I had to pay $700 per 2800 prints I never would have gotten the machine in the first place and would use only my inkjet. Even with the refills it still costs me 6 times more per page than inkjet but it's worth it for the times I want water resistant prints. I calculated how much it would cost me per page using refills and re manufactured cartridges and assuming I get 3 refills per cartridge before even considering buying the machine.

I use it for my businesses I run and without refills I'd be loosing money rather than making money so it would make no sense to buy it if I was going to pay $700 per 2800 prints.

See Blackcat, now you got him started on those son-of-a-biatchin' ink refills...haha.

Dare I ask, but didn't you say or someone say that they have water resistant inks...b/c that was one advantage of laser to begin with?

Man, I hate Yugos...ever see the movie drowning mona where everybody drives one...great movie.

Haven't you heard? Everything on the internet is free!

You don't have to pay for anything. You just ask, then somebody does it for you. Like those manuals that we're reading out of (because you can't?), ... well they're not free. And the many years of experience accumulated here, .. well they weren't free. And that Yugo that you make your deliveries in, ... well that might have been free.

This isn't really a forum for technicians to share ideas. This is really a charity for very green printers. Our real objective is to drive ourselves out of business by giving away our services. Oh wait, you wouldn't have paid for any professional services. That won't work! Well, we'll just have to think of some other way of driving ourselves out of business. =^..^=
