    I usually start this conversation with: "I'm sure you've already checked all the cable connections, and network viability with a laptop ... it's really embarrassing when it turns out to be a flattened or unplugged cable." The usual response is: " ... I'll call you back tomorrow, hold off for now." =^..^=
    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.

    You lift a Riso duplicator off the ground to load in the back of your car and you hear this ripping sound, followed by a cool sensation as the air breezes past your undies..... And you're at a girls school with a few of them around...

    Ripped pants are never fun... Fortunately when it happened to me I was in the office at the time and the door was nearby...

    That kind of reminds me of those situations when you do something that sounds like a fart (like sitting on one of those leather sofas or using rubber shoes on shiny floors) and everyone starts to look at you, and then what do you do? You try to replicate the same sound in the same way, and you fucking can't do it again!
