True stories from Hurricane Super Storm Sandy:

[Jude]

We had a CS 2560 in an office in Nassau County South Shore. I got the call from the owner to come get the machine. I went to the office and it was half submerged. I could see the high water mark almost to the second tray. Removed the box, took it back to shop and let it dry a couple days in a warm shop. Got brave today and fired it up. IT WORKED! Turned it on and went to ready and printed printer status page. I'm impressed!

We had a TA 500ci that when I first started working for this company we had a pretty heavy snowfall for this part of texas and water leaked down right on it. It sat in the shop for a month before anything was done to it. I spent an afternoon going thru the whole machine cleaning it up and then fired it up. It's now out in the field working like a champ.

Sounds like you should try to get all the use you can out of it while you can judging from the above posts... Hopefully there wasn't paper in the submerged tray(s), we've all seen what tiny fragments of dry paper can do, imagine tiny fragments of wet paper!

After the floods went through our warehouse 2 years ago we didnt even try to recover anything, 20 brand new machines and over 50 trade-ins went straight down the tip. Turned out the insurance policy didnt cover us for flood so the Boss took a $1.5 mil hit to his back pocket.
