      I work 8:30 to 5:00 Monday through Friday, never more, sometimes less.

        7:45-4:30. We get 45 minutes for lunch and can knock off pretty much any time after 4. No weekends or Holidays.

            Wow the OP must have a bunch of VERY CLEAN machines to only need to svc them 15 mins at a time. I can understand 15 mins for a toner spill at the hopper but damn. I want your job!!

            On another note I work a total of 4 hours a day of actual labor, the rest is research / taking calls from endusers who don't know how to install toner bottles.

                  YHEL23 does the same 5 machines every day. Me, I just get paid. No work. I'd rather sit here and scan the web meaninglessly.

                    Actually, it's not all that bad.

                    Being a systems analyst (I was a tech in my former life), I get the opportunity to work from home quite a lot.

                    Some days I get to play help desk guy, helping out customers, techs, and salesreps.

                    Ever since I got a WebEx account, my life has been a lot easier, being able to remote in to customers' computers (with their assistance, of course), managed sites, and various RIPs and enablers.

                    Some days I can actually be more productive that way than being in the field, or (yuk) office!

                      8:00 to 17:00, Monday thru Friday. It's the commute that wears me down, 1 3/4 hours each way. =^..^=
                      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.
