I've heard about the RAM thing and looked around at kits a bit, but never quite understood the benefit so I haven't picked one up yet. Probably will eventually. I need to get better about maintaining it. rn I really have to crank the density settings to get dark blacks at all, probably something is failing slowly. But like I said it gets very rarely used. And yes! the "economode" lol. I just keep it fully powered off tbh but I don't print much. I didn't know this was the first model to have it, but I knew this was a very early home consumer oriented laser printer. My parents got it when one of them was in college in a very very paperwork-intensive program

I love having old, sturdy appliances rather than always buying a new piece of crap that will absolutely shit out in a year or two.
