my toner vacuum is too loud

[prntrfxr]

I agree with pjbdm, I give them a warning first. Usually the person who's going to sign the paperwork. If I know the office is large, I try to schedule for later in the day or move the machine into another room. Vacuuming the machine was always part of the contract so they knew ahead of time it was going to happen.

Yes, Give them warning and work as quickly as you can.

I made up a foot pedal out of some old copier parts so I could pulse it on and off quickly, hardly use it. I just let er rip. Listen for the slamming doors.

I have this one machine right near a multi multi line phone system that never stops ringing, thats a treat.

Ahh, the Technicians Revenge!
I have certain customers that I wait until they are on the phone then start up the vac.

I used to love doing this when I worked for Canon ,in the big fed govt offices, pissed off a boardroom full of overpaid bigwigs at Agriculture Canada once, the CLC was right besides the boardroom, they were looking at me like I interupted the most important conference in the world lol!

yes he was a bit funny like that. He got my mate flustered as well by telling him to take a look under the table i.e. you can see up the customers dress - yep he got caught oh and most disturbing he carried a picture of john holmes in his wallet the guy was married and was always looking at other women so why he had that picture i dont know.

But yes he used a screwdriver to remove dev leaks from machines.
