    No apologies necessary. Message received. =^..^=
    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.

      There are several Ricoh and Lanier service histories out there with entries from me about the dreaded 'Device to DFU interface issue'.

      After while I had to explain to the other techs in my team just what it was: just a techno-speak way of saying it was the fault of the dumb f)*(king user!

        That's a good one, hope you don't mind my usage of it in the future...

        Got a customer with an FO2080 fax that this would be the perfect thing to describe his problem.

          Feel free to use it. it can also bring a little sanity to the day when you get that one customer you want to curse at but just know it's not worth the trouble it would cause.

            a very large breasted receptionist was at the desk
            asked her to let me take a look at the machine for a moment
            I adjusted the height of her chair and the problem went away

              Re: COPYISMS

              I recall a Canon copier with a similar problem. Only with certain users, when setting up complex print jobs the machine would clear/reset back to home screen, especially when there was an ample breast upon the reset key. I was quite young and shy, and unsure exactly how to explain this to the enduser, so I found her manager and we went through the entire demonstration again. The manager caught on to the problem quickly, and sent me on my way.

              I might be dumb, but I could see a write up in my future if I didn't handle that correctly. =^..^=

                    Can't say I've yet experienced any user issues of that sort, though I await the day. I hope it happens to my co-worker more than myself actually, as he's a little more gun shy on anything of THAT personal a nature. The hilarity that would ensue would ensure everyone would be in stitches -- everyone being myself.
