For several months now we've been having problems with OPC belts on an
Imagen 12/300 laser printer.  Basically, it "eats" a belt once or twice a
week, apparently due to some sort of mechanical problem having to do with
the belt rollers.  Even the slightest amount of crinkling on the edge of a
belt seems to bring the 12/300 down.

At the current price of belts, this is getting to be a very expensive
operation.

Repeated calls to Imagen re this problem haven't been of any help, though
they've offered to change out our 12/300 for a 2308 for $8,000 (which we
don't believe is such a great deal).

Does anyone out there know if this is a generic problem with the particular
model of Ricoh engine that Imagen used for the 12/300, or whether it's
specific to just our own engine?
