Sojourner Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Every so often I fill in for the church bulletin designer at my old church. The bulletin contains the entire liturgy for the nearly two-hour service -- music and all -- and is 32 pages. It takes about three hours to lay out (which I did early Tuesday morning), and another two or three hours to print on the copier. Tonight the copier is giving me FITS because every couple of bulletins the paper gets jammed up!!!
Sojourner Posted October 28, 2005 Author Posted October 28, 2005 [quote name='stargirl3:16' date='Oct 27 2005, 09:30 PM']Maybe it's possessed... [right][snapback]772482[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I think it may be. It's now telling me there's paper stuck in places where there's no paper stuck. I wish I'd brought some holy water with me.
Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Usually that means there's a little tiny strip of paper in a gear somewhere. I've seen it happen...we're talking like 1 square centimeter of paper jamming a machine over and over... If not, try rebooting.
Sojourner Posted October 28, 2005 Author Posted October 28, 2005 Nah -- as long as I open the section where it says there's something jammed, it's fine. I think it just needs to be serviced. A little servicing goes a long way.
RC_ Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Here's how you fix it: 1. Borrow someone's graphite shaft over sized driver. 2. Hit copy machine repeatedly until either a. copy machine breaks b. graphite shaft breaks c. copy machine works 3. Return driver and either a. make your copies b. call repair service
Sojourner Posted October 28, 2005 Author Posted October 28, 2005 Tempting, very tempting ... Although now I'm about 2/3 of the way done, and it appears to be doing better now that it's warmed up (fingers crossed, knock on wood). I'll just keep up my routine of swearing profusely at it; that seems to be doing the trick. Is it a sin to use profanity in a church office?
RC_ Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 No more than anywhere else. Unless someone hears you, then there's the added sin of scandal.
Sojourner Posted October 28, 2005 Author Posted October 28, 2005 I don't think anyone can hear me. I'm kinda in an isolated part of the building, and I'm the only one in the office ...

Jaime Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I've heard that if the copier was used for making copies of one's hiney, it can cause paper jams.
