    Is HP 9000 reliable as a used machine ?

    Hello,

    iI would like to buy used copier, i was offered HP 9000 . About 400.000 pages done.
    What do you think about it ? I guess it is rebranded Konica isnt it?
    Will it be reliable as used copier ? There is lot of aftermarket toners, drums etc-reason why to buy it.

    Thank you for any comments.

    Not absolutely sure but I dont think this is a KM engine, the 9000 is what HP call a Mopier.

      If it would make a good machine for you would depend on if you can get parts and labor for a fair price. At 400,000 it would need supplies if they have not been changed and HP does not make thier stuff cheap. If you do not make a large number of copies you do not need a machine that large.

        fixthe copier has got a point.

        It's a great printer. I've seen them hit 3M prints or more. But parts won't be available forever. And this engine has been out for quite a few years. When you can't get parts & toner anymore it won't matter how may prints it has.

        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.
