?Apple Printers? ?Cannon Wide Format?
- Okidata: all Okidata printers should be stored in their own area, no need to eval/build/triage.
Find power cord/supply.
Place some paper in it.
Turn the unit on.
Does it come up enough to say ready to print?
-Yes (ready to print)
-Did it make grinding noises?
--Yes (grinding noises) --Mark with an X and strip for parts.
--No (grinding noises) --Mark in a hidden place (underside) and set aside for build.
-No (not ready to print)
--Error codes on LCD: --Reseat Toner, Paper Tray and check paper path for jams. Power on again --Reseat Fuser (error 50) and Power on again
--No message on LCD: --Reseat Network Card and power on again --Reseat RAM and power on again --Replace mainboard if possible and power on again
-If it still does not come up ready to print --If it has a paper jam or fuser (50) error comment this and set aside for build --If it has no messages on the LCD (just stars or dashes) and the mainboard was replaced (if possible) mark with an X and strip for parts.
Is it missing essential parts (paper drawer, fuser, toner, etc)?
Is it missing cosmetic parts: covers, lids?
Does it have lose parts, missing screws?
Laser Printer Reject Types:
doesn't power on at all bad mainboard paper jam fuser error missing essential parts missing cosmetics won't pass paper path test
