I picked a Minolta QMS Magicolor 2300DL Color Laser Printer
off the street a few weeks ago, finished cleaning it lastnight,
all 4 toners are full, with a new drum kit fitted.
Network port, USB, and parallel. Very nice unit, has a web
interface for servicing and setup.
What was wrong with it ?
Display said "Drum unit not in place" or something similar, on
a closer look I could see where the drum in place contacts (on
the printer) to the fuse link on the drum had been bent against
the chassi.
Lucky it hadn't burnout the limiting resister on the control PCB.
Bend them back with round nose pliers and it works 100%, will
do some test printing tonight to see what photos look like.
The graphic test I did is superb but I tend to think that photo
printing wont be as good as a good inkjet due to only 3
cartridges, and also prior experience, like I said, will find
out tonight anyway.
Hope the later models dont clean the drum and transport unit
after each job though, apart from that I'm impressed by the
Minolta build quality and design, as well as the interface.
Least I can get some use out of it until the toners gone then pick
up a more recent model.
Cheers
