    CLC 1000 and getting started as a Copytech

    Hello All,

    I have just acquired a Canon CLC 1000 and would like to begin learning everything i can about it. I am a software developer and have many years of experience in network implementation and integration. However i would like to get into the copier / printer world and learn how to service and repair them. Any pointers and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Schools, tutorials, tips, lessons learned, etc.... Thanks in advance. I would also like to find a free service manual for this copier if at all possible. Thanks again.

      Education is expensive. Buy a service manual.

          Getting started

          Hi,
          The best way to learn your machine is as follows:
          1. As the previous poster stated, BUY a service manual.
          2. Following the removal procedures in your manual remove all the subsystems from your machine.
          3. clean each subsystem and perform any adjustments for that subsystem that you find in your manual.
          4. Replace all periodic maintenance parts listed in your manual
          5. Reassemble, adjust, test and then clean the outside.
          If you do this, you will not only have a working understanding of how to adjust and repair your copier, you should also have a clean and good running machine,

          Regards,
          Mav

                  Start smaller, much smaller.

                  Personally, I wouldn't start out with a Canon CLC1000. It's constructed differently than 90% of the copiers out there. Different than 90% of the color copiers. For a newbie, I would start out on a desktop, black & white, 12cpm or less. You can learn the basics, and if you screw it up the most you'll have lost is $1,200.00. If you mishandle the drum on the CLC1000 that alone can run $1,200.00. I'm not trying to scare you, just to help you put the risks into perspective...
                  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.

                      BlackCat is correct. The CLC series is a High Quality color copy/print production model that is not easy to work on. As the Cat said, start with a little machine or even a small laser printer to learn the basics of the electrostatic copy/print process. The parts are definately more expensive than your average copier.
