I have one of these, and it seems to be a real workhorse, as is evidenced by
the status page it kicks out on powerup, which lists somewhere close to a
quarter million pages having been printed out...
That status page is a part of the problem. When I got it I was told that "a
postscript board" was in it, and it indeed does seem to speak postscript
just fine, but as long as I have that emulation enabled (as opposed to LJ or
whatever, I think there were three or four choices altogether) it kicks out
that page every single time you power it up. Is there any way to defeat
this?
Also, since I switched to using this LJ5 I acquired fairly recently, on
pulling the paper out of the IBM it seems that a roller that sits on the top
of the stack of paper is in the process of turning to goo, like those
capstan rollers I see mentioned in here from time to time. Is there a
rebuild kit or are replacement parts for this thing available out there
anywhere?
