    My dad originally brought me into this business. He was an indie tech and took me on calls with him in my late teens (helluva guy). The man rubbed ink or toner on his face EVERY call. And after EVERY call I would have to remind him to wipe (he was getting older). I now have a hang-up about it, and constantly check myself. I even pull out my little mirror extension to check throughout the call.

    Sometimes I get toner in my beard, and I reminds me of when it wasn't white. It wasn't ever magenta with cyan smears ... but you know what I mean. =^..^=
    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.

    Transfer waste is fairly close to my natural ... past color, so if you see me wallowing in waste toner ... =^..^=

    Are you saying that you are becoming a silver cat instead of black?
