Re: What's the weirdest thing that you have ever found inside a copier,printer?
do typewriters count in this thread??? I used to do per machine labor for a company on cape cod, MA. when they'd get 8-10 machines in house, i'd go down for the day and pick-up a few hundred dollars.
one machine was flown over from nantucket island(IBM selectric). no start condition. popped the cover, entirely filled with mouse nest material.
put the cover back on. no charge. not repairable on the tag. I HATE FRGGIN MICEComment

BE thankful you don't have to work on Brother typewriters ... they discontinue parts for them too soon and then the old people get pissed at me when I tell them it cannot be repaired. " but it's only 12 years old, and has worked so well for us"Comment

Actually started getting that sort of complaint about the IBM type bar machines when they stopped making parts for them in the mid 70's. Just have to remember this though. There were parts common to those IBM type bar machines going back to before WW2. There were a few customers in 1973
that actually still used what IBM named the Model 01 from 1935! 4506VV2240.jpgComment

It's not exactly found in a copier but it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen come out of one!
It hasn't done a mirror image but has turned each individual character around. In 30+ years in this game I haven't seen anything like it.
This came out of a HP E87660z the machine that HP say they are going to capture the A3 laser market with but if they keep producing crap like this expect a large drop in their share price.

Re: What's the weirdest thing that you have ever found inside a copier,printer?
That's Great! The closest I've ever seen to that is when Windows7 first came out, and Office 2008 switched over to the default Calibri font.
Most printers did not have Calibri as a base font, and often the substitute font did not substitute very well. For examples, all the "e"s might be missing, or substituted with another character, like "7". The local IT just went through and defaulted every Office program to New Times Roman font, and that was fine for internal documents. But emailed documents usually came in Calibri font. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
