    My name is kingarthur & i'm a techie

    today i've been in my one & only job for 34 yrs, seen loads of changes, some good & some bad....but despite the cr*p i get some days...i actually enjoy my job....i actually like & get on with most of my customers, i even socialise with them, living on an island you can't avoid them....but one thing i must confess to, which my girlfriend thinks is funny & is getting used to....where ever i go...whether its for a meal..or whatever..if someone hands me a sheet of paper...i dont read what it says...i automatically check for copy quality & then tell her or the person giving it to me....what's wrong with their copier/printer.....
    Tip for the day; Treat every problem as your dog would.....If you cant eat it or f*ck it....then p*ss on it & walk away...

      It's an occupational hazard. It doesn't remain funny forever. My wife lets out an exasperated breath and says: Just read it, please. =^..^=
      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.

                  That might explain a few things.

                      Hi There

                      Can you suggest me a best place to buy the Toshiba Estudio 3510C, Drum, Developer and all other replacement parts as we run a non-profit org and can't afford those high cost developers and toners that are avail from websites.

                      All suggestions are kindly welcome to have this copier run smother. Thanks

                                      I few years ago, my little girl was in daycare. On Friday, they would hand you a packet of papers for the coming week. One particular Friday, the pages had obvious charge streaks running through them. I let the woman know that when they call it in, be sure to tell them "charge lines". The following Tuesday, the machine had been fixed and the service managers business card was left for me. He wanted to offer me a job.

                                          all 3 of my kids were in the same elementary school and they were sending home notices about up coming activities. my daughter looked at the notice and told her teacher that her daddy could fix this for them, amazing what an 8 year old can see. that very afternoon I got a call from the school asking if I could stop in and see the principal. not knowing what the issue was, thought one of my sons had done something again, I went to see the principal. the very next day the company I worked for at the time went in and replaced both photocopiers and took on all the service for the other equipment at the school. two weeks later we were replacing all the machines in the school district and servicing all other equipment as well. I took my daughter out for what ever treat she wanted, we ended up at Dairy Queen for the biggest banana split she had ever seen, I sat and watched her devour the entire thing. her mother wanted to know why she wouldn't eat dinner that night...................

                                                  My partner has taken to telling me every time a pick up a piece of paper "There's nothing wrong with it, you don't need to fix everything". HAHAHAHA, she will learn. lmao
                                                  Please don't ask me for firmware or service manuals as refusal often offends.
