    New Kyocera feature

    Great prank sign

    Life 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!".

      Pretty nice, but take out "glitches", corporate wouldn't allow that on an official doc.

        Anyone remember the Mita DC131voice? The talking copier, it would alert the user when a misfeed occurred, or low toner, or other problems- the sad part was that the sound was so distorted and muffled that you could not understand what it was trying to say. The first service call placed by the customer was usually to disable the voice feature.....

          A buddy of mine who is the IT director for a fairly large law firm put a sign similar to this on an IRA-5051 a while back as a joke and he has video of 4 people talking to the copier trying to get it to respond. It is freaking pricless!!!! I was in tears when he showed me the videos when I was at his office the next time I was there.

            For all those clients who leave us notes on the machine (including the company that left a lemon on top). Payback! There are lots of "talking copier" videos on youtube of people doing just that. Very funny.

              Never could see the humor in intentionally humiliating someone, even if they are a jerk.
              I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

                this isnt your typical lawfirm. Very laid back atmosphere. They have happy hour everyweek at local restaurants and if you stop by on Friday after 3 everyone is drinking beer and eating food that is brought in for the employees. The owners there have it figured out in my opinion for building a good team and getting everyone working together. It has been voted as one of the best places to work several times now.

                Oh any yes this was on April 1st.

                Here is where he got the idea.

                  Sure do! I remember it as 133vox. It was really annoying. I remember only one machine that it remained enabled. =^..^=
                  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.

                    Honestly, I've never done it. Probably couldn't live with myself if I did, but there are certainly days dealing with some of them where I've wanted to do something. That is what is so great about this forum. You can vent and no one gets hurt.

                        I am fully convinced after a few years experience with the brand that Kyocera is Japanese for "back ordered.".
