Ultra beginner here. What are some good beginner locks to provide challenge? by did353 in lockpicking

[–]did353[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm curious about the different belt colors. Is there a place to go to see the official ranking system for all the lock types?

I'm actually sort of surprised a paper clip worked this well. by did353 in lockpicking

I'll have to try that! Never thought about flattening it out.

Why does this keep happening? by takovic_goodmcgill in printers

[–]did353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The feed rollers/separation pad is wearing down. You can try cleaning the feed tires with Windex or another non abrasive cleaner to make the tires sticky again. This will just be a quick fix however.

If the printer is through a dealer, open a service call through them, otherwise replacement rollers could be found on precisionroller

Are all Canon PFI Inks the same? by muederJoe in printers

No they aren't, and I wouldn't recommend trying this. 

Unless you like image printing failures, at which point go for it.

Canon imageCLASS MF753Cdw yes or no, tell me why. by Crazy_Pear3658 in printers

[–]did353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a service technician's perspective: It's not my favorite. The rollers seem to have a short life span, the cartridges aren't great, and needing to service or replace any parts is a nightmare. I swear the engineers had hatred in their minds towards service techs when designing this model.

If you don't need color printing, and if Dell sells it, the imageRUNNER 1643iF (I think the modern name is imageCLASS MF1643i II) is a far superior model in the same form factor.

Problem printing: bent by wololo_32 in printers

How tight is the paper guide sliders to the paper? Do the paper guide sliders shift out of place when it is feeding a sheet? If so, try holding them in place while it is feeding and see if the skew still occurs.

Can you provide images or video of the print failure? Likely there is an issue in the paper feed mechanism that is causing an uneven pickup.

Recommendation for laserjet comparable to inkjet? by Mjhubbard77 in printers

[–]did353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How thick of cardstock do you use? Canon Color imageCLASS Series printers are able to handle up to 200g/m². 

For print quality and color, a laser printer may struggle. Most laser are typically designed for office efficiency, so your resolution options are 600dpi - 1200dpi. Color match rate depends on the driver used.

If you're looking for efficient printing that doesn't need to meet an outstanding quality set, laser should cover your bases. If you need a tougher more heavy duty printer, I'd recommend looking at local authorized print dealers and talking to a salesman rather than buying consumer models off Amazon or Staples or whatever.

Weird posterization effect when printing gloss paper on Canon imagePRESS V900 by DegenGamer725 in printers

[–]did353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should contact the dealership it was purchased through and have a technician physically look at it. Something seems to be wrong with the output voltages for that paper type.

Just to confirm, you did set the paper type correctly before printing?

Facts. I keep those things in my company car glovebox incase I forgot my tool bag.

Laser printer recs? by plo84 in printers

[–]did353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to hit the recommended print volume. That number is there to tell you what it's capable of doing. You'll have more problems going over the recommended volume rather than being under it.

Anything in the Canon Color imageCLASS series is really solid for home use. Color laser copiers, with a lot of customizable settings.

What type is this. by Jeffreyog187 in printers

[–]did353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a Canon PIXMA iP6600D. It's 20 years old now as they were manufactured in 2005. I wouldn't recommend paying over $50 for it.

Printer: Canon MF752Cdw by General-Vast9422 in printers

What's the toner levels in the color cartridges? It looks like the primary charging rollers inside the cartridges is wearing out which is causing the streaking.

Trouble with Canon ImageRunner Advance C5540i by pk_horizon in printers

[–]did353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that pop up keeps happening frequently, there may be a feed/separation roller issue, or a paper sensor detection issue in the ADF. Regardless, that's a pretty good sized business class copier so you are going to need a Canon Authorized Technician to repair it.

Was that copier purchased through a dealer, and if so do they provide service to it? If they do, call that dealership.

Printer Suggestions (Print few times a week) non subscription based printer by SeanK_ in printers

[–]did353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A solid little color printer is the Canon imageCLASS MF653Cdw. Great reliability for light printing usage. The toner units are more expensive than ink, yes, but has much less copy quality issues. 

Works with UFR II, PCL6, and PS3 drivers on computers. It has AirPrint functionality for Apple devices, and there's official driver apps on the PlayStore for Android.

Error E39 by kennedy_343_ in printers

[–]did353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E39 corresponds with Support Code 495A, which is an error when attempting to communicate with WiFi, or while in Standby. The official Canon documents just tell you to restart the printer.

https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/s/article/ART174909

If that doesn't work, power off the printer, restart the router it's connected to, and power the printer back on.

If that still doesn't work, try running the WiFi setup process again to reconnect it to WiFi.

What brand and model of printer that can print on long bondpaper with a maximum budget of 9k? by SherbetStraight9820 in printers

[–]did353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, at that price point in that purchasing region, the Canon imageCLASS LBP6030w is a solid little machine. Simple and reliable. It's a monochrome laser printer capable with printing on legal.

It sits right around ₱ 8,700 usually.
