People may not notice. Some talk that way. I had a sign on a drawer that read "Do not use this draw". Maybe he was from Texas and was spelling his accent.

Had an Epson manual lost in translation as mentioned above. "R" and "L" mixed up. Change the dlum unit, corol cariblation and so on....Failing to plan is planning to fail!!!Comment

yeah...I had one for an Epson inkjet that started:
"Assume the top cover is open..."
So I left the top cover open but couldn't make heads nor tails out of the rest of the paragraph. The words were English, but the sentences didn't make any sense. It took me half an hour to figure out the paragraph. Turns out the phrase above was to make sure the cover was closed. Go figureLife should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".Comment

My favorite line from a service manual wasn't on a copier, but a French helicopter. The same translation problem exsits. Anyway I was installing a replacement engine and when it came to connecting the engine to the gearbox, it didn't say that. What it said was to "offer up" the engine to the gear box. I felt like I was sacrificing a virgin.I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.Comment

Didn't really make me laugh, but the toshiba e-2500/3500c manual is bloody hopeless. I think the code is CA00 and the troubleshooting for this code has around 25 steps, turn off IQC, turn this and that on,ra ra ra, step 25 do test copies, how do they look? Good? Bad? Proceed to step 5. Viscous circle. Long story short, if ya ever get this code, just turn off image quality control and use ya eyes. Forget steps 3-25.I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. ~Thomas EdisonComment

I believe it was the Mita 8585 and the manual was refering to the "total counter" and the misprint was "total cunter". Figured they knew my ex-wife...

Anyone ever try to perform the image registration adjustment as written in the Cougar, Tiger or Jupiter manual? It's 6 pages of totally incomprehensible gibberish. After 4 years experience on Sharp, I had thought that I must be just dense. How could a registration adjustment be that hard?
Even followed to the letter it just doesn't work. =^..^=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.
