- Hello,
-
- I am attempting to get an AST TurboLaser 800 laser printer oper-
- ational. This hasn't been used in a while, and the people who have used
- it no longer work here. On power up, the printer seems to be powering up,
- and the symbol that indicates that the printer is heating up is blinking.
- After a while, it goes on solid. Pulling out the papaer cartridge or
- opening up any of the access panels results in a cover open indication
- on the front panel. As far as this goes, the printer seems to be OK.
- It does not, however print out a status page. I have the following
- questions:
-
- 1. How do I get it to print a status page, or doesn't it do this?
-
- 2. As far as is known, this is a Ricoh printer engine, the R4080.
- We have many supplies for a Ricoh R4081. Can these supplies be
- used with this printer?
-
- 3. What type of printer is this? Is it a Lasejet of any type,
- Postscript, or other any printer usable with Windows or OS/2?
-
-
- Any information about this printer, and especially maintenence
- for itwould be appreciated. Please reply by E-mail or post to this news
- group. Thank you in advance.

- Regards,
- Gus
