    Re: We have a daily joke, how about industry pictures?

    I don't know if any Canon IRs still use the huge black toner bottle with the domed orange cap, but if they do, BEWARE! I was at a satellite of the mothership helping set up some of those machines, and as a Lanier (Ricoh) tech I didn't know how that cap came off. So I gave it a good tug. The cap came off, but that gray piece broke off too, and about a third of that bottle spilled on the tech area floor. D'oh. Those caps screw off, me dummy.
    Later, while I was on my way home on a Friday afternoon, I got a call that a place had spilled some toner. It turned out that they had spilled one of those bottles. Entirely. I was there until around 6:00 PM and had to empty my vacuum filter three times while cleaning that up.

      When Canon made toner with orange cap I said "finally toner which can not be Spilled"

      Big old Canon toner bottles as pictured below was nightmare for users.

        I remember showing customers the flashlight trick. The bottles were opaque, but if you shine a flashlight behind it you can tell if all the toner has dropped. If you can still see toner in the bottle, don't remove the bottle. Keep tapping till it all drops.

        This only works if the customer waited for the Add Toner indication. If they added toner to a 1/2 full hopper ... well it just can't take 1 1/2 bottles. =^..^=
        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's so you get additional separation ... and probably no feed at all. =^..^=

                The thing is , it was rammed in and missing c clips on t4. Shaft weren't even engaged. Took me 15 min just get it out without braking something. Thats what made me angry. T3 was not that bad

                  Was it a tech from your shop that did it?

                          I keep looking at the picture and I can't figure out what you guys are talking about.
