He looked at me sitting on the floor with the d/u strewn about on the diaper in about 20 pieces. He asked "is the copier broken?" I just looked at him for a couple of seconds and asked him "are you a detective?" The room just fell apart after that.

    That's when you open the machine, pull out the Fuser Unit, and take the customer's hand to it, and ask, Do you think this is Hot enough?

    With a machine like that, why didn't the brand squash the competition?

    I've had such comments before during my analog days. The originals would have small imperfections that the box couldn't copy so the copy looked 'cleaner' than the original and in the customer's eye 'better'.

    new on today..

    What? Isn't the copier coffe proof? After he spilled a big mug over the ARDF - and the pages stopped after being "washed" in coffe on the way through the ARDF.

    .. no! And it appears that the idiot proof option has not been installed either.


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    And..

    Stupid machine. It should have been obvious that I wanter 49 copies and NOT 499.. Who needs 499 copies anyway?
