Tektronix 350

[gr1pper]

I've just bought a used 350 where the seller says it prints 'Great pages'. I've plugged the thing in and for 2 hours now (affter going to 88% in the warm up in about 15 mins) is constantly alternating between 'warming up ' & 'initializing'! It's clunking away as normal but not coming online.
Any ideas please?

Thanks
DK

it sounds like the drum temperature sensor is not making good contact with the print drum. You have to open the exit cover and then you can look down at the top of the drum. Then temp sensor is located at the back of the printer on top of the drum it will have two wires coming out of it. take a piece of paper and fold it in half and slide it back and forth under the sensor to clean it. Also make sure that it has ventilation alll the way around the printer of at least 6 inches and no cold air is blowing on it

DK, did you ever get this solved? I have one doing the same thing. The issue is not warming up, but not initializing, I suspect.
