IMC300 shuts down automatic

[KenB]

Sad but true, copiers seem to feel bad power before computers do.

Not always, but some models are MUCH more sensitive than others.

It’s all about their power supplies, apparently.

I once had a school with 8 new Ricoh machines (mostly MP 6002s) that threw constant SC errors.

There was a factory across the street that played footsie with the power for several blocks. It was out in the boonies, so regulation was at a bare minimum.

The 01 series machines we pulled out never hiccuped…not even once.

The dealership I worked for serviced a couple of national accounts for Ricoh, the customer did not like the local branch and other dealers. When new machines were shipped in, they always included power protection devices.

All these machines had filters; all our installs do.

Power filters can only do so much.

Even the power monitor we put on the worst offender showed no issues, even when the machine threw several error codes.

Admittedly, it was a fairly low end monitor.

We ended up losing that customer, and all the machines we pulled and sold as used were completely happy in their new homes.

One th ing I have found that many monitors cannot find and many protection devices cannot block is a bad building.

Ground.

I somehow forgot to type ground.
