    Cosign on the spotting copiers in TV shows and movies.

    I forget which show I was watching...it could have been Parks and Rec or The Office but I remember thinking to myself "It's past 2005.....what the heck are they doing with an ANALOG copier?!?!?"

    You know you are a tech when ----- >>>>> Fixthecopier "You have thought of making a wind chime out of old drums"
    Wild Bill :I did make wind chimes out of little HP drums. Cut em at differant lengths and at angle. Guess Im in"

    Me too !!
    Also don't forget to use Developer ( outer ) and Hot rollers . { just a hobby } All these together makes a good tone.
    When you disassemble a copier, you accidentally DROP parts on the floor to see if they make a tone worth building a set of chimes. ( I'm trying to find rollers from an old pressure fuser )

    God grant me the serenity to accept stupid people , the courage to not waste my time and energy on them , and the wisdom to know that I cannot fix STUPID .

    * You run around all day with toner on your face and no one tells you til your in picking up parts.
    * When you blow your nose, it looks like a color wheel. Usually after a PM.
    * You will never be a hand model.
    * You carry a flashlight with you at all times.
    * You refer to a drum as OPC.
    * You make parts out of paperclips.

    And what kind of image quality can you reasonably get at 100x200dpi? Certainly not good enough to determine anything from an image as small as a fingerprint. =^..^=
    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.
