It would be pretty cool if you could remove the rat, and the drum would be working well enough but would just leave a faint rat like "ghost" on each copy. Emujo

I had a Aficio 2027 that the paper bank would not feed from either tray. Found a dead mouse caught in the motor belt.
Had an old Canonthat we got a call about loud squeeking and a burning smell.
Mouse stuck tail first in fuser. Glad we got there after it died.
Asked customer if he was hungry for fried mouse.
Why do they call it common sense?
If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?
Is that a paper sized mouse? How the F@(& did he get there??? OMFG OMFG!!! 1-0 for the...furry...tailed...thing...
Many years ago a customer bought a mita 1415 in for repair. Had a smudged copy. Ran a page through to test and there was a smudge that looked almost exactly like a mouse. Seems a mouse was inside the copier when the customer started making some copies. It ran right under the drum when it had a charge, The transfer sep voltage went through the mouse and burned the image of the critter into the surface of the drum. I kept that drum for about twelve years just to show people. Sadly one day a "new hire" was cleaning up the shelves and threw it away.
Once had a CLC 5000 in a print shop that was throwing laser error codes, that series had a massive laser unit for the 4 lasers. opened the top up and Mom and 4 or 5 little baby mice living inside scattered every which way. startled me so bad I stumbled backward and fell over my toolbag. fixed a harness they had chewed thru than the machine started throwing all kinds of weird codes, took all the covers off and found turds and all kinds of chewed wires everywhere in the machine. Told the customer to call his insurance company and get a cat for his print shop.
Smallest copier tech I've ever seen - I've seen a laser printer where you could walk inside to swap the drums, but that's ridiculous!

I'm just an ex-tech lurking around and spreading disinformation!
Hate to be somewhat different, but all I can say is stupid mouse, good riddance. Hope the machine wasn't wrecked too badly.
