Always a good idea. Imagine the look on the tech's face when he got the call.

I guess the dumb customer removed both caps from the toner bottle?' "But the salesman said . . ." The salesman's an asshole!'

Re: Shaking Toner Bottles
That's when I send the boss a picture and ask if we're charging for this one. Then tell him to send the newbie out to the site.

Re: Shaking Toner Bottles
No need to ask how your day went eh?
That looks like they shook it upside down, because I distinctly remember going out to a machine several years ago (one of this family too, a Ricoh 2027 I think) where the customer had vigorously shook the toner after removing both cap and bung and a good quantity of it the hapless woman had ended up involuntarily wearing, inhaling and eating, the rest was liberally spread up the nearest wall, over the floor and over the machine. Nothing in the room got away without at least a light dusting.
(as an aside, she told me in tearful toner-covered hysterics that she was going to sue before being sent home by her boss. I've heard this threatened a few times over rather trivial things and always wonder just how far they get. I know in that situation you're kind of humiliated and desperate for it to be someone else's fault but come on.....)Comment

Re: Shaking Toner Bottles
Where is the empty bottle?
Was someone stupid enough to just stand there and empty the rest?Why do they call it common sense?
If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?Comment

Re: Shaking Toner Bottles
I've always suggested using a wet & dry vac to clean up a mess like this.

Re: Shaking Toner Bottles
Reminds me of back in the day of the Ricoh FT4060.. You had to attach a funnel to the bottle then invert the bottle into the fill hole on the toner hopper.Mystic Crystal RevelationsComment

Re: Shaking Toner Bottles
You're evil.
My daughter dumped a whole bottle of baby power when she was little - my wife tried cleaning it up with the wet/dry vac... setup for wet... I can only imagine the nightmare that would make with toner.
On the positive side, my house never smelled fresher.73 DE W5SSJComment

Re: Shaking Toner Bottles
They say a picture is worth one thousand words, so here goes...

The Green Star: this is where to toner cart hit the floor. You can see this from the splatter pattern.
The Green Circles: the splatter pattern of the toner. If the toner cart hit closer to the machine, more toner would cover the front of the copier.
The Red Circle: most likely where the other end of the toner cart hit the floor.
The Red Arrows: the "smoking gun" if you will. The absence of splatter in this area would indicate that this is where the person was standing when the "incident" happened.
.....but it is just a theory.
