Oops! Yes, that was a typo. Indeed, it is the CP2025. I changed the thread title and content to reflect that.
I did the hack of putting a piece of paper in between the solenoid pieces. Removing the parts required to be able to remove the solenoid is way too much work. I think it's working now...
Well:
1. It's relatively private. Governments and corporations are snooping on more and more of our Internet traffic. In many countries, it's now all traffic and;
2. Medical facilities with whom I need to communicate insist on it, so I don't have much choice there.
But with a laser-based fax...
Hi everyone:
I have an HP CP2025 that is still not picking up paper even after replacing the pickup rollers and separation pads. Apparently, it's due to a solenoid which gets stick from the padding eventually wearing.
You can just put paper in between the solenoid tab and the solenoid, but I'm...
Well, I realized that the damage was not to the printer base, but the paper drawer. I figure that this is not the worst thing that could happen, compared to the base being damaged. So I'm going to remove the other packing materials and test it today. I'll post back with my results.
There's...
Hi:
I just received a Brother 2840 laser fax. It was never used, but appears to have been damaged in shipping. Attached are some photos of the damage (as far as I found).
From what I can tell, damage was mostly related to a part of the bottom, as it seems to have come apart/delaminated from...
Thanks. Unforunately, the reason I'm here asking is I've been through
a decent number of service manuals and user guides and I haven't
found any yet that include that info.
I used Google, I called the manufacturers. "No one knows" they told
me. Nonsense. This kind of info. used to be included...
I'll actually be testing used printers. When I help buy for family
members, I compare what's new-ish with what's older,
because as you know, many older models are generally built
like tanks compare with today's models.
Often, I"m talking to ebay sellers or sellers of used gear
on other...
Hi everyone:
I have a couple of printers I'm checking out here. I always wondered, are there common
key combinations for printing self-test pages on MFCs/laser printers/laser faxes?
I just contacted Brother, who by the way have discontinued all phone support. A Brother support rep on Live Chat...
Well, as it turns out, the problem was just pieces of paper and masking
tape stuck in the ADF rollers. After I removed those, the unit mostly feeds
paper fine into the ADF. Another win for Canon reliability.
That's kind of what I was thinking, thanks.
Looking at the reviews on Amazon.com and Newegg.com, some of the
consumer-grade Brother models seem to have the same cheap gear
problem that plagued many earlier Brother laser printers.
I'm going to take another look at the Canon lineup.
She needs...
Hi everyone:
My cousin works in healthcare. She's not allowed to use any type of scanner that goes
to her computer due to healthcare regulations.
Her old film-based Sharp is dying and not worth fixing. Now, my cousin needs something
laser-based that uses plain paper. She needs something really...
Do you mean as a test, or as a workaround? I'm not looking
for a workaround. Either I repair that ADF or I never use it.
I don't want to fuss over it, just fix it, if possible.
I snagged a copy of the service manual, but it's been years
since I took apart printers/copiers and I'm not sure it's...
Hi everyone:
My elderly Mom has a Canon printer/scanner/copier. I believe it's a D560,
but if could be a D530. Sorry, my photo is a bit blurry.
Acc. to my sister, the ADF never worked properly on this printer from the day
we got it for Mom. No one ever told me (the tech. guy in the family)...
