Tech: Is your "add toner" light on?

Customer: Yes, but it only makes one copy at a time

Tech: That's because your add toner light is on. Remember you had the same exact problem last month when your "add toner" light was on.

Customer: I know, but it only makes one copy at a time

Tech: That's because your "add toner" light is on

Customer: I know it needs toner but it only makes one copy at a time

Tech: It is supposed to do that, until you add toner it will only make one copy at a time.

Customer: Even when I put the original on the glass, it still only makes one copy at a time.

Tech: what part of "add toner" is most difficult for you to understand?

Customer: My machine only makes on copy at a time

Tech: Do you have any toner?

Customer: Yea, but I think my machine is broken, it only makes one copy at a time.

Tech: Argh, OK, I swing by this afternoon and see if I can fix it for you

Customer: Fix What?

Tech: Your copier

Customer: Oh yea, did I tell you it was only making one copy at a time?
Oh hell yes, more than once.

I once got a ticket that said "Can't get toner in" on a Minolta Di 350 and when I got there I found the image unit on the floor and when I opened the door to put it back in I found the toner bottle laying where the IU should be.

Mathematics

It's almost like a trig problem.

Your ability to get away with telling them they are a dink is inversley proportional to their dinkness.

Does that make sense??

What's the most whack customer description???

how about: "My printer has a double image" when I went out they were recycling the paper and had it turned the wrong way so the printer printed on top of another image.

Oh, and I love the "it wont print" or "my printer's dead" reason. When I ask does it have any lights, do you hear fans, is there an error on the display? I get "just come out and fix it, will ya!" or "I dont know?"

Over the years I've learned to say, if you help me diagnose it a little over the phone I wont charge you for 2 trips, and if I have to make 3 trips because of this I'm charging extra mileage. They change their tune real fast.

I had a call from a customer at an airport who insisted that the copier (EP1052) would not work at all...I called them and got them to plug a kettle into the wall socket..it heated. I then attended the premises and when I walked in I turned on the copier switch. Customer..."I did not know it had an on off switch"!! DOOHH!!
