- Hi,
-
- *Bloody MITA photocopiers*
-
- Just an enquiry re MITA photocopiers - are they *all* bad, or do we have
- a lemon? Or is it just that the local MITA service people here in the
- deep north are ignorant or incompetent?
-
- We've only had the machine for a few months - only about 144000 copies to
- date - but it's driving us mad with its unreliability. It's been "fixed"
- about 3 times in the past few weeks AND IT'S STILL USELESS!!!
-
- The problem seems to be loss of control over the toner: at the "normal"
- setting you get grey rather than black, if you adjust towards Darker you
- get grey or black where you had white! The output is also streaky, i.e.
- as well as general loss of control there are variations across the copy.
-
- If anyone is familiar with this symptom on the MITA Model DC3285, please
- let me know how it can be fixed so I can tell the bloody serviceman when
- he eventually gets here again!
-
- On a more general level, if you have an opinion for or against MITA
- copiers, please e-mail me and I will post a summary of user experiences
- with this brand (let me know the specific model you are complaining
- about too, please - or endorsing, though that seems unlikely in our
- experience). Incidentally, I did hear (admittedly from a competitor)
- that TAFE colleges have been having lots of trouble with MITA copiers
- too, but not the same model as ours.
-
- More in despair than in hope,
- Ian S.
