    Quick question for aging canon techs

    what was the model number for an analog machine that was released which had a laser to do the lead edge blank (also had faulty light sensitive drums when it first came out). np4835? or something like that . cheers

          By definition, analog means sans laser. The NP-4835 used blank lamps like all it's predecessors. The first Canon I know of with a laser was the GP-200, which was just a NP-6030 retrofitted to be digital. =^..^=
          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.

              Oh, wow....trivia time to make us feel old! Not counting CLC's or laser printers which go way way back(see tekcats list) the first Canon black & white digital laser copier I was trained on was the GP-30/GP-55 then the Gp200 came out like a year or so later. You're right though about the GP200 being a redesigned NP-6030.

                Correction duly noted. I forgot about the GP30 and GP55. There were only two in the branch, under a different tech. =^..^=

                  How about NP9030, THAT WAS THE FIRST LASER
                  with a separate scanner and printer unit
                  came out about 2 years before CLC 1

                    NP 120/125 cold pressure fusing, never get a fuser code. NP 400/ 500 ran faster than it could. NP 30 50 60 F'n liquid.. NP 350 450 with color DV units that got broken all the time. And the POS of all Canon the NP 200 with the movable platen that changed drum charges whenever it felt like it. Remove the cleaning corona, 1 month later replace the cleaning corona. I was hired at a Canon dealer because I knew how phones worked. I was troubleshooting G1 faxes. 1984
                    Why do they call it common sense?

                    If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?
