Hi folks,
I've recently acquired a DEC LN03 laser printer with spare toner and
font cartridges. I'm informed it was working a few years ago when last used.
Something about it makes me think I better find out more before I turn
it on again for the first time. There is a little information on the
internet about toner replacement - I was wondering if I could call on
collective wisdom to find out what the best course of action is to
ensure success when I first hit the power switch.
For example, the words toner collection bottle and ozone filter make me
think I should know a little more first!
Thanks for the help, Mark.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's a standard first-gen Ricoh
engine. Most (all?) laser printers have a waste toner collection
system; with unified drum-and-toner cartridge systems it's usually a
part of the toner cartridge. Also, at least the Canon CX engine has an
ozone filter, I think the SX and later ones do as well.
It's not too weird an animal.

I can't help much with your questions; it's been a fairly long time
since I had anything to do with LN03s, and even then I didn't really
know that much about them. But I just recently was digging through
stuff and found what appear to be two LN03 toner cartridges. I'd much
rather give them to someone who can use them than just toss the silly
things, but they're sure not of much use to me; if I still have the
LN03 I once had I have no idea where it has gotten to - and would have
no desire to keep it if I did find it; I've got an HP IIISi that's a
better fit to my printer needs, both present and anticipated.
Anyone want them?
