Default Laser Hours

We are looking into a used CTP device and was wondering if there really is a way to determine the use a machine has?

Looking at an Accento IIS. Dealer is telling me that the laser hours are zero or… well here are his words…
“The RH parameters and Laser Running time showed zero hours running time on any of the lasers. This means that the machine was never used or that the times were reset at some point.”

Comments appreciated.

I think that's a "dirty game/trick" of reseller. You have to pay attention on other things like... rollers, punch clamps and so on. Serviceman can change a lot of params.
Do not "buy a pig in a poke" - try to find the way to have a look at SecondHand equipment or even better - to pay some money to AGFA or Screen to obtain some paperwork with real history of this equipment and the Verdict of Service.
