Re: Found on the glass
Nothing that exciting. White out, ink, scratches, scuffs of red fingernail polish ... the usual things. =^..^=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.

Re: Found on the glass
Not a lot really as above the usual marks and tipex but I did have a customer saying a machine was saying insert paper in the bypass every now and again, they normally leave the doc feeder up and as soon as I put it down it said it. Bit strange until I found a sheet of paper which must have been pulled of a wall as it still had blutac on it stuck to the doc feeder, it wasn't in the correct place so the mfp couldn't detect the correct size and did what it should ask for the correct paper to be put in the bypass. They really don't care what they put on the glass

Re: Found on the glass
Nothing really memorable on the glass, but in the output tray I have found:
Someone's pay statement (that wasn't too bad),
but...
About 5 years ago an HR person had printed a termination notice, that was to be "presented" the following day. No idea if anyone else saw it, but I gave it the manager I was working with. Just to cover myself, I discussed the situation with my local HR person, just in case.
That print job was a glaring example of why all confidential docs should be sent to some sort of locked queue. The ironic part was that this machine had a Fiery attached to it, so there was really no excuse, as the Fiery publishes a "hold" queue.“I think you should treat good friends like a fine wine. That’s why I keep mine locked up in the basement.” - Tim HawkinsComment

Re: Found on the glass
Once found a 10lb antique electric stapler on the glass. Well, through the glass. Through the scanner assembly as well. It was kept on a shelf above the copier and the shelf gave way.Comment

Re: Found on the glass
To expand on the stapler topic, back in the beginning of my participation in the analog days, when I cleaned the optics of those machines I liked to put the platen glass on a table or some other horizontal surface. Well, the last time I did that was was when I was cleaning the optics of a machine in the office of a manufacturing plant. The platen glass was on a table behind me. A lady (who looked curiously similar to the character "Carla" from the TV show "Cheers") came in from the production floor, put a stapler on the platen glass and stapled around 20 sheets of paper. The platen glass was fine, but I came this close || to needing to go home to change my underwear.
Beginning just after that, if I need to remove the platen glass from a machine I hide it as best I can.Comment

Re: Found on the glass
I forgot to mention....the pay statement I found in the output tray was during an Equitrac install...almost as if on que.“I think you should treat good friends like a fine wine. That’s why I keep mine locked up in the basement.” - Tim HawkinsComment
