Thanks!

That's basically how I got into the industry actually. Every problem is like a big puzzle I get to solve, and I get to help people, so it feels good at the end of the day

It's probably the feed tires. You can get false jams if they're slipping.

The bigger ones transport multiple sheets at once! The ones I work on can have up to 5 sheets running through the copier at once! It's really cool.

When you're printing 11x17 duplex (2 sided) it'll slide the paper under the machine whole it's rotating it. You can't see it, but I know it's happening.

I absolutely love working on photocopiers, even though it's my job.

My friends say I'm a hoot in the discord!

Live in a red county, it's everywhere. Go to the small town high schools. Trump and confederate, and lifted trucks absolutely everywhere.

And good lord, the mullets.

I always recommend Brother because of repairability, I'm not just saying it because everyone does. The fuser in your copier heats up and cools down all the time and will fail eventually. Same with the transfer belt, drums, and feed tires. Luckily, Brother clearly labels everything and they're all easy to replace.

Counter that with HP. Depending on the model, (I'm looking at you M477/457) when your fuser fails step one is to take just about the whole machine apart. Some consumer grade Canon copiers are HP is disguise! (it's actually the other way around)

My opinion here is not to be confused with office copiers, with the exception of HP, they can all fall off a cliff. Their laptops and desktops can go too, the world would be a better place.

I work on office photocopiers for a living.

The office copiers are awesome! When you print in black and white, most models will physically disengage the colors and only print in black and white to save toner and wear on the drums/transfer assembly.

Most desktop laser copiers do the same thing.

Laser copiers don't use ink, they use toner which is a powder instead of a liquid. They're temperature sensitive, but there aren't nozzles to get clogged.

Oh I know. I'm just saying you'll have a better time with something like a Brother MFP
