i know you shouldn’t look a gift copier in the mouth, but this copier jay gave me is just one pain after another.
first off it had a paper jam. easily enough fixed. then it developed streaking and toner-leaking problem. i think i took care of both of them — apparently it’s just a matter of taking out the entire photo-drum assembly, replacing the cleaning blade and mucking around with the magnetic toner-application roller.
only i don’t know if that’s the problem because now it’s apparently developed a problem with the corona wire (the device that statically charges the drum before it’s exposed to light) or more likely there’s a problem with the electrical block which the corona wire slips into, but either way the damn thing only prints blank copies.
i know you shouldn’t look gift copiers in the mouth, but if i could get this working, then i would be a tiny little publishing industry; just me and my copier.
but right now i hate it.
