    Re: Are you a technician?

    Call me Ishmael. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the business machine part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off -- then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me. Yes, I am an office repair technician.

              I'm in the fortunate position of (in october last year) being able to balance cash etc against years left (?) And giving the finger to the career!


              So, in refence to previous quotes

              The less I do this (that?) the MORE I know.... or remember?

              I'm less confused (or is it senility?)

              But... I'm still a technician (answered a post today!)

              There's a possibility I (still?) Have no clue what I'm doing!!!??!

              The more things change, the more they stay the same!

                  Is that you Calvin ? Calvin literally spent all day on a feed issue on a Bizhub 350. He left the shop at 8:30 to go 4 miles away, removed all the feed assemblies, replaced the clutches, put them back on, and now the machine is down for a main motor code. At 4:30 the service manager hangs up from talking to him, looks at me and ask me to guess where I will be Monday morning.

                      I get calls several times a day of various symptoms. When I get on site, everything is normal. I must be a technician.

                          Good enough to take it apart, Smart enough to put it back together, and Clever enough to hide the spare parts.

                                1st answer. I'm a technician.
                                I won a printer equipment and need some help to maintain it.
                                For now I have a problem in setting up a twin system, and urgently need the service manuals for that.

                                Regards.
