Why pay for "copyrighted" material which is illegal. Make a small $5 or $10 donation to this website and you will get all the firmware and manuals for free!
I actually know someone who was selling manuals on another website and they were contacted by OEM lawyer to cease and desist operation or face BIG law suit.

wonder if they went after the dealership also?
Ha-ha been a long time but think the guy sold mostly Ricoh stuff.
Remember Paul that sold manuals on this and other websites? (God rest his soul) He sold every manual for everything not just copiers! Got away with it for years. A few other forums, copier talk, techs connected, etc banned him for selling manuals. Basically told him techs don't charge other techs! These forums are to help....for free!
By the way the donation I suggested is not mandatory but helps keep the site up and running to keep giving free advice to help fellow techs! I'll pass as much detailed information on as I can to help others. NO charge, I'll get it back another way.....
Some valid points raised here however for the record I have to pay my source the firmware then upload it to a file sharing site & create a link to share.
I simply add 50% to what I pay this all takes man hours so this small fee charged simply covers my time.
But everyone was happy with justmanuals selling firmware right?
Let us eat, drink, and be merry, because tomorrow we may die!

Just manuals got away with it on here for years just like I said. He must of knew the admin or this site just don't care. Other sites banned him from making money on fellow techs. He never charged me for anything I got from him.
If you find it necessary to sell copyrited material that's your decision. Personally I will give it to another "tech" for free and many others on this forum feel the same way. End users are a different story, I won't give or sell to them.
I'm all for making side money just not from another tech. Try giving it away for free to other "techs" and see what happens. I bet really good things happen to you. Just the way life works!!!
PS, I will be contacting the Admin about starting an FTP site with all manuals & FW for free! Password will be given to known techs on this site. Not sure if anyone else remembers the FTP from Techsconnected? Similar to how that was. Can have it where you upload a service manual or F/W and can download one.

Would be perfect if you're contributing a fraction of this 50% at CTN.
By the end of the day you use it to attract some clients here, right?
A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

Just to be clear and all fairness to copier tech he is a long time member and does help others here with good tech support, which he doesn't charge for!
Just to toss my dog in this race,I have an IC-413 I use as a Web server and host almost the entire library of firmware, manuals and fiery system software.
I send links to members that have become contributors here.
It does not cost me a dime with the exception of the electric to run the fiery server.
To me if you donate a dollop or 50 dollars I don't care as long as CTN is the recipient of the contribution.
What I personally get out of it is knowing this site will keep going.
I know my doing this has generated income for CTN and hope one day it can be run ad-free and not take forever to load a damn page.
That's my selfish desire here, not profit.
We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
The medication helps though...
