Thanks guys, really useful info, I'll put it to good use straight away!

Sleep's for sleepy people

Haha it must be a thing among technicians or something... I sleep very little as well, there are so many things that need time so I can't rest anyway. Even now, 01.43 on a monday morning I'm working. I must be out of my mind!

My two bobs worth on MP C4500 drums

One week-end last autumn the tempreture dropped 10 deg over night, the result was the phones ran hot Monday morning with customers complaining about banding on their MP C 3500/4500 copiers. Any drum that was close to its 80k life started putting black lines across the copy, but only on the front end of the drum. It seems that the drums took exeption to cooler air on the front end of the drums but it didnt reach the back of the copier to upset the rear.
Of course we didn't have enough drums in stock and I had to raid the show room copiers and any trade-ins to get enough drums to pull us out of the poo until the next shipment of spare parts arrived.
Now autumn is here again I'm about to get the storeman to increase his shelf stock so we dont get caught again.

Did anybody else experience this problem when the weather changed?

The weather over here is very changing, it can increase or drop as much as 15-20 degrees (it also drops below 0 very often) from day to night or day to day, also humidity changes since it's cold and dry one day and warm and snowy the next. But I've never seen anything like that...

You would think it shouldn't matter what the weather is like outside when the copier is inside a warm office, but it sure does...

Our weather swings between dull and cold and duller and colder here, making it pretty hard to tell. It gets damp rather than wet some days too.
