About 15 years ago we had a lady call in to say her fax would
recieve but she couldn't get it to send.
The tech went out and faxed something to our office and we
recieved it fine. when he had her fax something he watched
and she ran the original through the df and picked it up after it was scanned and said "see it's still here!"

Whe once had a customer who called in to say the machines reduction does not work , we went there and showed her how it works she then replied , but it does not cut the paper to an A5 size.

Another case i heard of was a guy who wanted to fax his money trough the fax machine , and i believe there are still people trying to do that.

Back in the day I had a call on a Ricoh 4060 for blank copies at a university. Turned out that the temp secretary saw the add toner light on. She added what she thought was toner to the toner hopper, it was silicon oil, directly in the toner hopper..... that = new machine!!

wow! i had a call one time at our local ROTC. they said they had light copies on ther konica 3135. they also said that they added toner to no avail. kinda scary ain't it? so i go out to look thinking there's too much and i need to vac some out to get the auger in the hopper moving again. when i open it-it was empty. so i looked around and saw no toner dump anywhere. so i asked them, did you add toner to "this"copier? they said yes, it was kinda difficult and messy but we put it here. THEY WERE POINTING TO THE WASTE TONER BOTTLE! they filled tht thing to the top. for those that don't know, the toner bottle has a opening about 2 inches across and 4 inches long. the hole on the waste toner bottle is about the size of a quarter. you do the math.

There is an acronym some of us in Australia use for stupid customers - NFI.

Uses for NFI include - "There is a lot of NFI going on there!"

No F#*@ing Idea.

Sums it up well, I reckon!

And I forgot to add - what about people who don't unwrap the paper before putting it in the machine? Never seen it personally but I have talked to some who have. NFI.

I actually found a torn piece of paper wrapper in one of our showroom copiers. You would think that people selling copiers would at least know a little bit about them. Scary...

I have found (in some workplaces where copiers are sold) the salespeople can be amongst the most stupid - after all, these are the people who regularly make promises that can't be kept ; or the poor service department has the make the impossible happen after sales have fed the customer a load of bs.
