    I called the keyop in the room and asked her: "Is that the noise?"
    She said: "Yes, that's it."
    I said: "It can't be the copier."
    She said: "The copier is the only thing in here."
    "The copier is Off and unplugged." as I showed her the plug.
    "But it must be the copier ... "
    "How could it be? I think it's the heater fan. ... see it just stopped."
    "oh ... "

    It took four visits to catch it. =^..^=

    Had a client tell me her TA520 was acting up. She says that she goes to make one copy and it would just continue to make endless copies. She even states that she unplugged it. I asked if she unplugged the network cable and it continued to print. She said no, that she unplugged the power and it continued to print. Not wanting to stoop down to her level and argue with her, I just simply
    said that I was unfamiliar with that problem and continued to work on an unrelated issue.

    No. She is an elementary school teacher. Teachers seem to be some of the worst end users.

    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 sounds like a PostScript error to me. When it's printing strictly code, one line per page, the machine can receive 800, maybe 1000 pages of data in seconds, then print it off at it's own pace ... after the network cable was unplugged. Ask her if it had a bunch of smiley faces, hearts, flowers, and other strange characters, one line per page. =^..^=

    Blackcat, she said she unplugged the power. I didn't ask her what she was copying or receiving for output. For all I know someone may have sent a print job as she was copying. It was one of those days when I stopped listening once she said she unplugged power and it continued to print.

    But maybe if she brings it to my attention again and I am having a better day, maybe I will ask.
