    Re: That awkward moment when...

    you get machine reassembled and realize you put bad part back in instead of the new part.
    Happened to me with a laser unit (PH) for the Bizhub B&W 350. For me the most hated job on this series of machines. I was constantly interrupted by my phone perhaps that's why (Besides being a dork ofcourse).

        Re: That awkward moment when...

        Had to leave for a family emergency... I return with further info.

        The plastic frame of the fuser was actually beginning to melt, and the paper that was jammed up behind the thermistors prevented them from detecting the full heat I guess, so they didn't wind up popping. From what I understand, glass melts around 1700 degrees, but becomes malleable long before then. I'm not sure what these lamps are composed of however... Glad it didn't get any worse than it is. Fortunately this location is the city hall, so it's a short drive, on an MX6201N. Unfortunately for them it's our only one, so we didn't happen to have a spare fuser for it on hand...

            If you've ever watched "How I Met Your Mother", the phrase "Let us give slaps" will make sense.
            I usually watch "How I Left Your Mother" instead.

                When you're working at a local hospital and someone asks you to look at an off service machine and you tell them to clear it with the purchasing agent (who's a little too enthusiastic about her job - her name is Braxine) because you don't want to get strung up by the testicles. You then repeat the standard hospital humor joke about getting "Braxinated" about the same time "The Braxinator" walks around the corner.

                    The lamp outer jacket is made of quartz, and it is surprisingly common for them deform, especially the Canon NP-1010/NP-1020. And they keep working!, but scraping on the inside of the heat roller. It's a grotesque noise.

                    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.

                            You lift a Riso duplicator off the ground to load in the back of your car and you hear this ripping sound, followed by a cool sensation as the air breezes past your undies..... And you're at a girls school with a few of them around...

                                                    That kind of reminds me of those situations when you do something that sounds like a fart (like sitting on one of those leather sofas or using rubber shoes on shiny floors) and everyone starts to look at you, and then what do you do? You try to replicate the same sound in the same way, and you fucking can't do it again!
