    My feedback for CT.net

    Before I started posting on this site, I was feeling pretty good about myself when it came to working on Kyocera MFP's. I knew I wasn't where I wanted to be but, at the time, I would have rated myself a solid 7 on a scale of 1-10. But after seeing the knowledge/experience of others on this site, I had to drop that down to about a 4. And that's mainly due to my past experience of many years ago. I simply did not have the experience on the newer models to honestly rate myself any higher. There was no use in me bullshitting myself.

    I remember Phil talking about the importance of getting a manual and reading it. At the time I remember thinking to myself that I had forgotten more about copiers than some people know. And I don't even think Phil was talking to me. But what he said stuck with me and instead of skipping over stuff like I'm prone to do, I set out to to really familiarize myself with the service manual. One of the best decisions I've made in a while. Thanks for the advice, Phil.

    Some of the members on this site humble me. I won't mention anyone by name because I know I'll leave some people out. Anyway, I think it would be fair to say that my knowledge has increased a good 30% over about a 3-month period because of this site. You can't put a price on that.

    Cheers.

    thanks for the kind words Billy. In the past you could go to service a machine without the manual, as long as you weren't a newbie. Things have changed esp when it comes to Color units and the MFP's.

    Frankly I don't know how some can even attempt to look at the newer models without having a manual to refer back to...

    times are a changing.. and if we want to do or jobs well, we have to change with them. Sometimes that's a hard thing for an old fart like me.

    And no those comments were not directed at you.

    I get more from CTN than I could ever give back. I'm glad that others feel the same way. =^..^=
    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.

    You're one of the guys that humble me and sometimes I hate you for it but that's only the jealousy talking.
