Are you also replacing the mylars on those drum units? They are pretty good for nothing more than falling out and helping to gum up the whole unit.
What level is the firmware at? Both this machine and its slightly less network friendly predecessor had issues with toner density that were addressed by firmware.

Welcome to the nightmare my friend.

Yes, we are here to support you. Like a drink?

[djdan73]

i wish i could change my number and only give it to the customers that dont have these pieces of crap. i just wish the sales guy wouldnt have sold over 50 of them in my territory. the other guys in my company only have a few to deal with i guess im just the luck one

Take heart my friend, if it were easy anybody could do it.
You are not alone. Its just that we dont have any answers either.

[djdan73]

i know im just venting lol ill figure it out someday and slap myself on the head and tell myself im stupid and should have figured it out a long time ago lmao

[Jomama46]

No, no you got it all wrong. You're not stupid, its a f*k uped design. But Ricoh is working on a solution.Or so I've heard.

[djdan73]

maybe i can talk all my customers into making them really nice boat anchors

[Jomama46]

Well, you want to keep your job. So the best bet would be to hock them into upgrading to color. You'd be a hero in both camps. And there are ways to make trade-ins "un rebuildable"
