Hello all, I am looking for opinions on the Task Alfa 8100i. I worked on Kyocera until five years ago, now Ricoh. No experience on this model. Decent box or stay away from it? Thanks in advance.

What the hell is an 8100? -
Re: task Alfa 8100
That's not a valid model number I've heard before. =^..^=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.

Re: task Alfa 8100
They typically run PM to PM and can handle a very large volume. I've got 3 in a school system that are at 3 million+ and none of them have gotten early fuser replacements, which was common with the 8000i. Naturally, at this count there are some small issues like actuators wearing down and clutches failing, but other than that they run great.
And I've yet to replace any feed rollers before 150k!Comment

Re: task Alfa 8100
Thanks for the responses. I was hoping it ran like the Kyocera's I'm used to. PM to PM is all anyone can ask for. Thanks again!Comment

Re: task Alfa 8100
Could you share what paper your school is using please? What spec and brand and type, if you can.
From Kyo rollers I never got more than 70-90k(reliably)
I did get 150k from KM rollers.
Yah and clutches are good talk over a pint. Actuators should be made of metal, I suggest. Then it would be PM to PM.Comment

Re: task Alfa 8100
Good machine in general, here in Oz Kyo machines seem to eat fusers reliably.
If you have worked on Kyo previously you would know that MK kits MUST be replaced on time, and machines cleaned internally, they all tend to run a little dirty.Comment

Re: task Alfa 8100
I would also like to know how you ger150k out of the feed rollers. I cant get 75k before they start jamming. that's why we started using the Konica rollers.Comment

Re: task Alfa 8100
All I know is that it's some cheap Magtec stuff. It's a school after all.
The machines are run by students and they generally don't call in a jam or two. When I get around to clearing jam counts, there might be only a handful of misfeeds (<5). Clean them off a little bit and let them keep on trucking.
The difference between the previous rollers and the Alphard II pinch tab rollers was night and day for us.Comment
