I recently bought a lot of used comerical printers at auction. I really needed one for my small business that was a laser and could handle 11x17. Color was a bonus. Fell into 16 printers. I pulled two printers out to keep and use. One is a MX-2616 and the other is a MX-5141. For the 2616 I was able to just buy a hard drive from sharp and replace. It doesn't have the water mark but that error doesn't stop us from printing so it's no big deal. The MX-5141 has proven to be a bit more challenging. I was able to clone the drive used on the 2616 and drop that in a 3--- (I can't remember the series). A customer of mine wanted it so I gave it to him with it working like that. But that did not work on the 5141. Is there a way that I can get a new drive or drop the software on one?
I live in a very small town with no printer service shops. There was a company on the side of the unit but they are out of Ohio and 4 hours away. These were cheap and we just need them to make black and white prints for my metal shop, though the color and print quality has proven sufficient for marketing materials as well. I am fairly tech savvy as a mechanical engineer but just haven't been able to track down the software.
I like how these machines have worked so far but if it would be better to abondon this one in favor of another, I still have 3 Xerox (plus a 4th broken Xerox) and 3 Toshiba machines as well. There is a last sharp machine but it seems worse for wear. They would not let me buy a few machines, had to take all 16.
