I wonder if anyone could provide any advice.

I want to use the copier in a novel way to help put images on ceramics.
To do this I need to get the image out without the toner being fused to
the paper, I can then transfer the toner to the clay and after firing
the image appears!

I have disconnected the power to the heat roller but then the copier
refuses to work.
The copier is an old AEG Olympia Omega 1210Z.
I'm sure there must be a way of overriding this failsafe device but
have not been able to work it out so far.

I would really appreciate it if anyone had any ideas how i could do
this.


Have you tried using an ink jet printer. That way you can play with some
color. You would just wet the clay and wrap the printed paper on it so the
ink infuses to the clay. Or maybe the ink would just burn off, I have no
idea. But the toner way you are thinking of, may be hard to keep correct on
the paper. One tiny jar and the toner would shake off the paper or smear.
Still at firing temp you the clay, the toner may just burn off since it is
just plastic powder. Hmmm
