LOCKDOWN!

[prntrfxr]

How about a "lock-in" ?

We had a tech do just that about 30 years ago at a factory.

He was working in an area where there were phones, but needed access codes to dial an outside line. Needless to say, he could find none. Being 1980, there were no cell phones.

Of course, this was at 5:00 on a Friday afternoon, so he didn't get out until about 6:00 Monday morning.

Fortunately there was a restroom and a snack machine with a bill changer so he didn't starve (or explode!).

That would never have worked for me. I never carry cash. If I need money I use my debit card. I'd have tore a door down or taken it off it's hinges. This guy didn't even have a family wondering where he was??? Didn't he have an office to check in with?? Wow!

That's what im saying. My wife wouldn't believe that ish.

Notice he was there from Friday night until Monday morning, so our office never knew.

As for family, he had none locally, and lived by himself.

I know it was forever ago ( a few months after I first started), but from what I remember of him, this guy was a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

We had company cars back then, and he turned his (a '79 Olds Cutlass) into a bucket of bolts in about a year and a half. The owners took a real beating on that when they turned the car back in when the lease was up.

Not to change the subject, but the LOCKDOWN on the stapler on this machine is phquin funny.

I think I saw that on "ThereIFixedIt.com" - some pretty outrageous stuff there!

I've had to do the same kind of output tray till I could fix the sorter several times over the years.

I've made quite a few paper-box-top exit trays myself, mostly for Canon analog copiers with finishers with busted trays. =^..^=

Used to do the hasp and staple bit to stop the students half inching the paper. Then came across a guy in Sydney that made these gadgets, a much neater solution.

NICE^^^^

Technically I pointed out the LOCKDOWNED stapler.
I just never duct taped a stapler to the copier.
I would have chained the stapler and staple remover to a table opposite to the copier to protect the drum.
We have all improvised an exit tray, but we could never LOCK them down.
Just following the theme of the post.

We use something very similar for the University of Southern Queensland.

Wedged between the machine and the finisher? Yessir!

Thats quite the addon there, I think I know a couple places here that might like something like that for their copier.

We had a AR235 with a similar setup, the cabinet below had metal bars on it that went up infront of the paper trays and the door was locked. The coin op also bolted inside that door so you could not open the right hand door to clear paper jams. It worked so good and pleased so many students when it jammed that they poured a bottle of coke into the document feeder twice! After the first insurance claim that was like $3000 they did not fix it a 2nd time.
