Is it possible that the page counter on a Laserwriter Plus can actually turn over like a automobile odometer? It was my understanding that there was no way ever to reset that figure, but the number that it gives (5000+) is WAY too low for what it should be. It seems hard to believe that we've done 105,000 pages, but does that counter (as indicated on the page you get when you turn it on) perhaps turn over at something else? Does anyone out there have a LW+ that has over 50,000 or 100,000 pages run on it? If there is any maintenance done on the machine (replacing a board, or something) would that reset it? Thanks. Please e-mail and I'll summarize for the net. Kevin Bolduan KSBOLDUAN@AMHERST

And it shows 132,xxx as the count when it prints the startup page. --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200.2!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@p2.f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
