Apparently, I suck. I just can't help but laugh though, that I got banned for life from a forum for COPIER GEEKS.

lol....I like the reason for why you got banned, Being an ass.

[axelrduvirage]

guess you weren't good enough for them, eh? you were concise, polite and direct. you also had a valid reason for asking for interim help while the call was out to the tech. personally i think it's an XY thing happening here...99.9% of copier techs are 30+ y.o. males living with their moms and still fantasize about being on a desert island with Angelina Jolie.

courage ma chère, help will come...

who DOESN'T fantasize about being on an island with Angelina Jolie?

[forkee]

LMAO that is so freakin funny.

well at least they didnt tell you to put sand in it, or some god awful prank like what happened in that one car forum.

but yea they sound so sheltered that they dont even know how to fix their own things. they just go straight to customer service. they probably go to their car dealership to get their tires pumped up with air because they dont know how to do it themselves

[GriffGirl]

get their tires pumped up with air because they dont know how to do it themselves

Oh crap that reminds me I have a screw in my tire that I need to get checked out!!


You know the thing is is that it seems like most of the people on that forum are copier technicians. So they're total geeks, basically. Which makes me an epic loser that I got banned for life by a geek forum.

Seriously I just think it's about the funniest thing that's happened to me in a LONG time!!!!

WOW! This Copy Forum sucks. I used to be in the print and design service and this just pisses me off, but at the same time lol. I sure as hell will not pay $100-200 to get a tech to my work just to show me the drum/bin and replace it with a new one.

I've only had experience with the bigger Xerox printers, but the waste bin should be in a cover slot that can be pulled out or opened, usually located on the side of the printer. It's either a filter looking thing with toner waste (looks like a pile of black ashes) in it or a plastic bottle bin with toner waste in it. If this is not the case, more than likely since it's a "drum" for the IM3510, it's going to be in the same place where the toner cartridges are placed. So open the main door and pull out the rolling rack. Locate the fuser/transfer module and find a drum like this one depicted, again if not it may look like a filter too.



Remove and check to see if it's heavy feeling or that it has a sign of being filled up with toner waste. If it does replace with a new waste drum and see if anything changes. If not maybe one of the sensors in the printer may be covered with toners or dust. FYI! DO NOT! Do not use compressed air canister to clean the inside of a office printer. Results may spread the toner around certain areas that WILL affect printing to the highest degree of dirtyness (black spots all over copies). Wipe everything down and see if it does anything. Usually a cloth with some dabs of corn oil/vegetable oil will pick-up toner and dust better.

Hopes this helps. Again LOL at these printer geeks.

Hah!!!This is exactly what I thought it was, that the waste toner cartridge/drum/receptacle was full. Problem is, I'm not sure which one is the waste cartridge. There's 2 drum thingies, I'm sure one is for toner and the other is for waste. How do I tell which is which?

Only way to tell would be to remove one and see if the toner light comes on indicating that you just removed the toner.

I'd drive down and fix it for you... provided you can get me to this elusive island with Angelina Jolie.

LOL

[GriffGirl]

I have a fan!

[Hanyo]

LOL that was the most pathetic forum ever.

the feeling i got from that forum was a bunch of professional technicians who are trying to keep the secrets of the trade with in.

good job griffgirl, for getting banned without using a single swear word. I think that is an award with in itself.

[Rymaster]

Okay, I may sound like a bit of a nerd here, but did you guys know that printers and copiers actually have their own serial codes that they print on every paper that they make? Believe it or not, they print very tiny pixel size spots on the paper that correspond to their serial number. So you can actually tell what printer a paper was printed from(is you have the tools to read the serial code from the paper)

I just thought that was interesting...

[95CelicaST]

Someone posted and laid down some pwnage on the mods.

I bet lostintexas lives in his Mother's basement still


It is someone on here? There is a link to this thread on there.
