I work on Ricoh's, everything from the smallest desktops to the biggest production models. So I'm a jack of all, master of none. I will learn from every avenue I can find, be it Youtube, Goggle, Copytechnet and every other place I can find. As far as service manuals, some are really lacking, there are many machine options like finishers that don't have service manuals, so you're kinda on your own.
Also, I'm kinda lazy, so I'd rather learn from someone that's already done it, instead of figuring it out myself.
