    [Misc] Restarting A C6500 That Hasn't Been Used

    I have a C6500 with about 2.8 million imps that hasn't been used for approximately 3 years and was wondering what potential issues I might encounter restarting this machine.
    The reason I haven't used this one was just that I got a new C6501 and just started using that instead.
    Beyond performing a PM and installing new coronas, drums, developer units and fresh developer powder, is there anything I should be concerned with or watch for while re-commissioning?
    I'm just thinking ahead and appreciate any advise!

    The main thing that I would worry about is the cleaning blades gluing themselves to the drums/transfer belt. So I think that I would prime the drums and transfer belt, and rotate each manually through a few rotations. If there is a cleaning or sticking problem you'll be able to identify it immediately, then replace the appropriate items.

    The developer might re-constitute itself after a period or use. You won't really know that until you run it a bit. =^..^=
    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.
