Re: This would be a copy guy with interesting tales...
Interesting story! I've come across this about 10 years ago.
What a monster of a copier. =^..^=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.

Very interesting...that's worse than the "yellow dot" spyware on color lasers.
I don't necessarily agree with what they did in principle but I suppose all is fair in love and war and hopefully it saved lives.
I wonder if the Soviet Union banned Xerox from doing business in their country as a result of it.
You'll find that a lot of companies have had their hands in wars and profited from them. A friend of mine who's really into foreign cars told me before that Porsche or Mercedes or both profited heavily from helping the Nazis out with technological advancements. So he always gets a chuckle when a Jewish person buys one of their vehicles, because if they only knew.Comment

Re: This would be a copy guy with interesting tales...
Maybe a dragon ? apparently it could catch fire,
Xerox 914 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One disadvantage of the Xerox 914 was that it had a tendency to catch fire when overheated Ralph Nader claimed that a model in his office had caught fire three times in a four month period). Because of the problem, the Xerox company provided a "scorch eliminator", which was actually a small fire extinguisher, along with the copier.Comment

Re: This would be a copy guy with interesting tales...
Risky, but back then photocopiers were considered magic - as long as it was dressed up to look like all the other wizardry inside the machine it would probably pass unnoticed.73 DE W5SSJComment

Re: This would be a copy guy with interesting tales...
I doubt they were that dumb, just not something they though of being a security threat. Nobody wanted to poke their fingers inside the monster. There's also the possibility they eventually discovered it and used it to feed us false information.73 DE W5SSJComment
