    That's one of those lessons we all learn early on. Close your eyes before blowing the toner out of a crevase, because it just goes right in your eyes! :P

    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.

      "PHHTTT" That was free.
      Why do they call it common sense?

      If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

            Have you ever ignited the propellant in an aerosol can on purpose? Back in college I was really curious. Bic lighter + depleted can of Right Guard deodorant = an (8) foot long fireball!!!! It scared the shtt out of me!

                  Canned air not AIR!

                  I will send a e-mail to "jackass" for testing
                  Actually, the compressed "air" isn't air at all, it is HCFC, using "freons" such as 1,1,1,2,-tetraflouroethane (Ames AQS). This is also why the frost forms when you over do it with a new can.

                    My shop got cheap a few years ago and quit buying it, so I took a pancake compressor my boss had in the warehouse and put it in the back of my truck. I can run it at the truck or carry it in. Works great.

                          I don't like using those aerosol dusters too much as if you don't hold them at the correct angle they let out fluid. As an alternative I was going to use one of those mini 12V tyre inflators but the problem was that it needed a 12V source and it was still a bit bulky to carry.

                          I then saw another device that looks a bit like a cordless drill but is a pump instead (Bosch PAG 12V). Various other brands are available and they are quite compact in size. Using a ball inflating nozzle gives a good blast of air. I just have to remember to charge the battery.

                            What a cool toy! For a while I used one of those hand held blowers that you use to inflate air mattresses. It worked OK, but was noisy, and I was tethered to the nearest outlet. =^..^=

                              I forgot to mention the noise as a potential drawback, but it's not too bad with the cordless units compared to the larger inflators.

                              The Bosch unit may not be easily available in many countries, but there are various other brands available. Many of them seem to be listed in the gadget or gifts type magazines. If anyone decides to get one of the other brands, watch out for the type of battery (lead-acid, NiCd, NiMh, etc) and the duty cycle as some are quite limited before they heat up. Also watch out for the price, as they seem to vary quit a lot and you may find something that looks almost identical for say half the price.
