        Hi,
        Started as an apprentice typewriter mechanic in 1966 and have been repairing photocopiers since 1970.

          "Can you start Monday?'

          It's 20 years for me.

          When I applied for my first technichian job I didn't even know what a copier was. Or at least I had not given copiers a single thought.

          There were probably a dozen of us there to test. We were asked to take the Bennet Mechanical Test. 10 of us got 25% or less. 2 of us got 100%. The two of us got a call the next day "Can you start Monday?"

          I was so excited that I forgot to quit the crappy line job I was working at. Sometime Tuesday the thought occurred to me that I'd better notify my previous employer. =^..^=
          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.

                            11 years and could have started 10 years earlier but didn't want to work on machines wearing a coat and tie. I'm like that.
