    Spot the Joke. Humour in Service Manuals

    A few years ago I was wading through the service manual for Ricohs first digital copier, the MV715 (remember them......shudder!) when I came across this setting, all I can asume is that it was Friday arvo and some one was fed up with translating technical Japanese into english.
    12 years later on and all the manuals are now on DVD and its still there!

    Anybody seen any thing else?

    In the Sharp SD3062 manual for an F1-13 error says that the "lower sensor ON signal is snot detected". What is the user doing, blowing their nose at the finisher???

    I remember one of the old Mita parts manuals had a part called a "Delivery Guide" listed as "Derivery Guide" Ah, well. It was funny to us...

    My friend in high school had a set of one way crutches. He hobbled off and I haven't seen him since.

    Really though, I wish I had the manual but one for a boat motor we had said (with an arrow pointing to the screw in the picture):

    "Do not remove this screw, you will be sorry."

    How about "Devereper Units", "Lump Units", and "Carberation" from the various Sharp manuals?
    carberation = calibration

    Also the "Sharshiba" line of copiers (made by Toshiba). =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    This is from the bizhub c350 manual. It makes sense if you read it enough times.


    "The number of hours through which the PC Drum
    has turned is compared with the number of hours
    through which the Developing Roller has turned
    translated to a corresponding value of the number
    of hours through which the PC Drum has turned
    and the value, whichever reaches the life specifications
    value, is detected."

    I have always wanted to know what "SB FRAPPER" meant - part from a Konica 7033/40 DF311. I know what it did just never how they got the name.
    120A45110 was the part number.
    The force will be with you always.

    I think I have brain damage.
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.
