<Nice enough laser printers for their day, but they
tend to overheat, if
<memory serves. If you get one, make SURE the fan works. Check. I seem
<to recall we had problems with those on a Vax site I worked on once.
Only if the fans are missing or dead. I was part of that design team and
overheating was never a problem. The most common problem was a printer
designed for an peak use of 5,000 pages a month being used as a line
printer. They get a bit tired and cranky if they werent kept clean and
get over a million pages on them. Inshort they were commonly abused.
Sounds like a heck of a printer, too bad nobody wanted these. They were so
big and heavy though I couldn't even think about bringing them home. Same
for the MemoryWriter 645.
