[comp.periphs] AST Turbo-Laser Paper eject problems

tpf@jdyx.UUCP (Tom Friedel) (08/11/89)

I have a brand new AST TurboLaser/PS that has been in a warehose for
two years and the warranty has expired.  The printer has less than 200
copies.

The printer errors about 80% of the time with the 'E' jam error.  After
the error, about 20% of the page is jammed in the OPC cartridge.  I have
to forcibly pull it out.       

Strangely enough, it rarely errors on the title page.  I am simply
using MODE COM1:1200,N,8,1,p and copy psfile com1.

I can't afford to get it fixed at $70 hour plus whatever, so was wondering
if anyone could help me.

Thanks,  Tom
