Does anyone remember the 5700 it was a 5600 with the optics removed and a Laser installed? I worked on them in the State Department in the early 80’s they were taking the place of dupes I believe all were 3600 engines which had Laser assemblies installed they had helium neon lasers.
Of all the 4000 Family products the Tag 81 5600 was the best. It was the cleanest and most reliable.
anyone remember when the 5600(the final iteration of the series) came out it actually got rid of some of the problems due to it being the first machine with a microprocessor so goodbye cycle switch and RADF and hello digital timing and vacuum driven doc feeders and mag brush dev units all with new problems plus the old ones from the optic assembly bearings and cam ahh the good old days but you know in the factory we could change an A trans quite quickly maybe because we didnt have all the covers and stuff and had production tooling available
One thing I can say about this machine was it had a stapler that that had the power to
staple through a New York City phone book and then some.
The stapler was driven by a 1/4 horse power motor through a Harley Davidson (I kid you not) motor cycle chain and if the screws came loose on the clincher assembly it would bend metal that would make Super Man proud.
Ken I rode with you in about 1983 when I left the Washington CRC.
It was in the process of being closed so I came to the field. I remember you as being an awesome person and a great technician.
I was with Xerox for almost 32 years from 1977 until 2008 when I took an early out at the age of 52 and went to Oce for almost 10 years. Hindsight being 20/20 I wish I had stayed with Xerox it was a great place to work especially in my early years there.
I hope you’re doing well.
I was one of the first trained on the product. as a service technician. Stil the old 4000/4500/5400 frame.
