Hi, all:
I've been recently banished from my company's warehouse and delivery department to manage parts, and I've been charged with re-cataloging every stinkin' part in the whole place in Excel spreadsheets so that information can be dumped into a huge, expensive, brand-new dealership automation software system.
In my search for information on parts, I discovered Copytechnet.com and signed up, hoping that good information, which is sometimes hard to come by from manufacturer Web sites, might be available here. I am not a trained technician, but have become at least somewhat familiar with the main product lines my Colorado Springs-based company carries, including Kyocera Mita and Konica Minolta, and (to a lesser degree) Xerox, Lanier/Ricoh/Gestetner and Panasonic.
Some of the information I'm looking for is linking up parts with the machines they go with, and so far I've found that I've had to search machine-specific service manuals and parts lists one at a time in order to make these links. Unfortunately, price lists and online ordering forms generally do not contain machine-linking information, so I'm either downloading PDF manuals and parts lists (some of them 25MB or more) one at a time, or picking manuals off the shelf and plowing through pages of parts lists in the back to see if I can find a part there.
Not only am I looking for a better computer solution to this problem (which I may actually be creating myself), I'm also looking for help with specific questions that arise. So let me pose this question about a specific part, if anyone can help: What Kyocera Mita machine line does the Feed Motor (Part No. 2FG27020) belong with? If there's a better way to figure this out than searching parts lists in the back of Kyocera Mita service manuals (either the hard copies or downloaded PDFs) individually, I'd like to know. (Using a keyword search with the part number at the KMAConnect dealership site generally yields no results.)
This is my first post on the Copytechnet.com forums, so please be kind and try to abide by the terms of the forums without cussing me out too much for being a greenhorn, all right? I'd appreciate help in any form you can give me.
