Re: PRT/IR Error L-1 L2 L-3
The c364 is quite old actually, the guts are generally fine but the software inside the machine is outdated. The older models actually came without the stoplife settings enabled. Unfortunately it sounds like you'll need to update the firmware first before you can turn off the end of life settings. I would advise against re-chipping the drums, all it would do is reset the counters and mess up your print quality even worse. I would simply replace the drums(OEM of course) that are at end of life and start over. Expensive yes, but copy machines aren't cheap to begin with. If you want to give it a shot and fix it your self good luck, but think it through and read this:
You probably wont find the service or parts manual online publicly too many places. These documents are generally internal by the manufacturers for certified dealers and techs only. If you buy one from a paysite you're on your own. Manufacturers generally don't make it easy for end users to work on their own stuff because they weren't really designed that way to begin with. Weather you agree or disagree is up for debate and beyond the scope of topic for this thread. This site is generally for certified techs to help each other with technical advice and not "help" endusers fix their equipment. Hope this clears some things up for you.
Good luck.Comment

Should have some life left.
Problem is those drums could have been reset before.
To spend $200 dollars on a functional machine is a great buy.
That would leave you some room in the budget for replacing the drums.
Developer tanks and transfer belt will also need to be replaced soon.
And those are a lot trickier than fooling with the drums.WhateverComment

Re: PRT/IR Error L-1 L2 L-3
Resetting the counter on drums/Imaging units is dubious at best--you will eventually need to replace some parts for sure! And there are a lot of things you need to need to consider after that like clean filters, rollers (many many many rollers), clean paper dust out of all the things, et cetera. Do not buy chips unless you cannot figure out how to change the settings--it is a waste of money and "confuses" the machine.
If you figure out how to change the settings (make it work without rechiping), this can work for you if you maintain the machine properly. HOWEVER you are eventually going to have print quality issues. Buy a service manual and show these guys that you are competent enough to read and understand the content. [if you do this be very cautious you can quickly mess up your 200.00 machine] Most of these guys here depend on people like you to make a living so they tend to get crabby toward end users.
All that said, if you do not have the time to figure this stuff out, you need to hire a tech to at least show you some stuff (if he/she is willing) and go through the machine to properly clean it and supply a list of things that you need to get immediately and what you can possible skimp out on (you got it cheap enough).Comment

Re: PRT/IR Error L-1 L2 L-3
Well...it might explode if you get a tech or not!
In some ways, this industry is just as complicated as a prop-plane (probably more). Again, a lot of these guys have spent their entire life figuring this stuff out, so never be dismissive--be humble--there is a lot more here than meets the eye!
If you want to try and figure this stuff out on you own, do the legwork, and if you cannot make sense of things we are here (in a very minor capacity if you dont become adept).
* I recommend hiring a tech to at least put you on the right path. Then go from there. *Comment

Re: PRT/IR Error L-1 L2 L-3
Oops! I was going to say something, but I've forgotten what it was.
I mean, how hard can it be if a bunch of shmucks like this can do it? =^..^=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.

Lucky these OEM's does not make aircraft. Imagine the firmware F"*$%^ out mid flight. Abort code C-FA14...
Konica Minolta 393. Now even cheaper and lighter, but with a million rivets more...WhateverComment
