By the end of the repair I look like Mel Gibsons warrior face in Braveheart. Ok, maybe not EXACTLY like Mel Gibson. Actually, not like Mel at all, just some dumbass with toner all over his face.
            My dad originally brought me into this business. He was an indie tech and took me on calls with him in my late teens (helluva guy). The man rubbed ink or toner on his face EVERY call. And after EVERY call I would have to remind him to wipe (he was getting older). I now have a hang-up about it, and constantly check myself. I even pull out my little mirror extension to check throughout the call.

                    Even I don't do that, I regularly walk around with toner smears on my face lol

                        Sometimes I get toner in my beard, and I reminds me of when it wasn't white. It wasn't ever magenta with cyan smears ... but you know what I mean. =^..^=
                        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.

                            Transfer waste is fairly close to my natural ... past color, so if you see me wallowing in waste toner ... =^..^=

                                Are you saying that you are becoming a silver cat instead of black?

                                                            Why not both?

                                                            As an aside; I'm eerily silent 95% of the time, making no audible footsteps or breathing sounds. It tends to frighten people a lot because I can approach without warning and the first sound I'll make is speech/clearing my throat. It's caused many jumps in many offices including my own, and the twisted side of me enjoys knowing I could be a very efficient serial killer if I ever snapped and lost all sense of morality.
                                                            Cthulhu for president! Why settle for the lesser evil?
