    [Funny] Copy quality problems as art

    I recently had a Ricoh 3035 with a dirty charge roller produce this for the counter print out:
    3035 dirty transfer roller art.pdf
    You know, if the problem wasn't so irritating this would actually look kind of cool. And it would be kind of funny too, a malfunctioning MFD as an automatic art producing machine?
    Bah, still irritating. Excuse me while I rip it up and flush it down the toilet.

          It's an impressionistic image of a tree lined lake, with waterfowl swimming in the near ground. And it didn't require much imagination. =^..^=
          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.

              Blackcat, I thought the same thing, except I thought it was a series of canoes with 2 occupants.

                  I pulled this masterpiece from a new machine yesterday. This is the "foreign material" ( under magnification) strained from the 3 color dv units. Kinda looks like coral to me.
                  It made a not so pretty pattern on the mag roll and prints though...

                              He must have jumped when I wasn't looking. And, ahem, I'm off the pain killers. I'm mostly back to normal (whatever that entails). Perhaps the normal hallucinations. =^..^=

                                  That sorta looks like pre-fused toner. Can you buy it that way? It would save having to fuse it later ...
                                  And yes, it looks floral or maybe like lichen.

                                      It was the most beautiful paper ever. I had a call on a Minolta color 1501. When I got there I was shown text prints that were on paper that was the most brilliant shade of a blood red/deep orange with tiny yellow drippings in the background. I was told that the paper started out white, and the document was black and white text. Internal prints were fine. It was only coming from 1 computer. I ask what was different and was told she had been the first to get a new computer with vista. They were trying to use xp drivers. Beautiful paper.

                                              I bought one of the first windows ME PCs. When I brought it in for service because it crashed constantly, the tech said he could downgrade the OS for me. He said, "Remember, ME is not for me." =^..^=

                                                      Vista could make the least experienced tech look knowledgeable on IT issues.
