    Lagonda's Golden Rule
    Never stand in front of a school copier when the morning bell rings at 9.00........you'll get trampled to death in the rush.
    At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.

        I was in a high school about 10 years ago during class change. The hall was a slow crawl, bodies pressing bodies ... excepting a youngster trying to buck the tide. He was shoving, pushing, and generally making a nuisance of himself. He saw a small gap near me and elbowed his way forward.

        It was a mistake, of course. No, there was a small gap between me and the surrounding students ... it was my 38# toolcase down at my hip.

        There was no real time to do anything, and no place to move had I the inclination. I just heard the loud crack of his kneecap connecting with my case, and the howl of pain. He went down in heap, then disappeared under the 500 legs and feet.

        I'm sure when class resumed somebody found him lying in the hallway. I'm hoping he learned some manners in the process ... but probably not. =^..^=
        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.

            We should be so lucky. This young generation is a 1.

                Had a head-to-head discussion with a couple of teachers an a head-master at a primary school over the years.

                The golden rule is --DO NOT try and teach the teacher!. Just let them believe they know everything about copiers.
                When I was in High-School there were no plain paper copy machines. There were two Roll-O-Matic Apeco "Super Stat" Electrostatic Copiers. One in the records office was a standard model (only went to 10 copies), while the other was the "high-speed" model and could be dialed up to 99.

                The woman in the records office was armed with a screw driver and knew exactly how to use it. Take top cover off, remove the turn around guide just past the paper cutter and remove all of the wrinkled paper. I watched here do it once as she said "Shhhh, Don't tell anyone I know how to do this".

                The district office had a Xerox 3100LDC.
