Got a call Tuesday at 10:30 am from Cindy at Mason Dixon Community Services in Delta PA,she wanted me to come to her office after 3 pm to discuss purchasing a new copier. I arrived at her office at 3:30, discussed the copier I thought would be a good fit for her. Wednesday at 10 am we pulled up with their replacement copier.
So I'm thinking 19.5 hours.
I know I just asked this but,

For the ladies in picture from Restoration Tabernacle in Cecil it took about 17.5 hours. They are some happy ladies smiling ear to ear. You talk about nice people I have known Mary on left for years. Not only is she good people, every church is goes to a different we sell another copier. Thanks Mary!
So now, I'm thinking 17.5 hours.
RUDE is RUDE!

Somethings are just RUDE like hanging on the phone when on a date, or talking on your cell while the movie is on. My #1 rude is having someone reply to an ad I ran in this case on Facebook, have them agree to a time and date for an interview and then not show. Not only do they not show, they don't call, or message back say they are not coming. I as a employer set my time apart for the interview so I can't really start anything else.
RUDE IS RUDE!!!!!!

Jim and I worked on a Xerox 7845 color copier at Aberdeen Proving Grounds today that has needed service for a long time. After we finished Lisa (the lady next to the copier) announced that the copier was fixed as we were leaving and the employees stood up and applauded us as we walked out the door. I went out to give an estimate on December 12, 2018 and we just got approval to order the parts last week. So the copier was unusable for at lease two months and 18 days or more.

one copier repair at a time!
Does anyone remember your first day at work?
Does anyone remember your first day at work?
Feb 28, 2019
I was hired at Lehr Office Machines in 1983 and the first day I shown a room full of broken office equipment and the boss said lets see if you can fix any of these. (I had never worked on office equipment before, I did use a Cash Register before being in the retail business for 12 years prior but that did not help much). He left to go out on calls and there I was, that was on the job training at it's best or being thrown to the wolves I'm thinking the latter. In that room were typewriters, faxes, printers, copiers, cash registers, duplicators, calculators, and manual adding machines, talk about a crash coarse. But I learned a lot by myself in a room in Forest Hill.
The First Day at Work Got to Love It!

I can't print anything! What is wrong with my Printer/Copier?
I can't print anything from my computer but everyone else can .
As a rule printers do what they are told to do. They are not selective so if anyone in the office is able to print the printer/copier is not the problem. There are several thing I have seen over the years that will cause this problem.
1) Check to see if your computers network cable is plugged in. I have driven 35 miles just to plug in a network cable.
2) Check to make sure you have the proper printer selected. Many print drivers are last used drivers meaning they default to the last used printer.
3) Check the IP address in the print driver. Then check the IP address for the same print driver on another computer that is working, if different change yours.
4) You have downloaded something off the internet and it corrupted your print driver. In this case delete the print driver and go the manufactures website and down load the latest print driver.

Pardon my RANT!
I had a fellow come in for a job interview yesterday.
1) He was 20 Minutes late, he said his baby sitter got to his house late. Did he call and let me know NO! The last job on his application, he worked for a week. He was fired for being late.
2) He came in wearing a skull cap, it was 56 degrees and sunny. Did he take it off, NO! The position was not for a high paying job with a accountant firm. I have minimum dress code standards, a button down shirt, casual pants and shoes but not jeans and or tennis shoes.
I have owned Business Machines for 25 years, so I have not been on the other side of the interview for quite a while. I don't think I was ever late or came in looking like I was going out to hang with my bros.
The interview should be your best foot forward, over dressed is always better then under dressed. Now if you are interviewing at Starbucks wear the beanie, jeans and tennis shoes.
DID I HIRE HIM? NO!!!!

XEROX
We have been getting calls to service Xerox Copiers over on Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Lots of WC-7835, 7845, 7855 and 5835 and 5845. I like working on them. They make sense, so we are going to start selling them.
Funny how things work out sometimes!

Rant #2 Facebook!
Last week I ran a ad on Facebook and I got 85 people applications in two days. Not bad.
Of the 85 I rejected 35 because they have a PHD's, or they have had 9 jobs in 3 years, or they don't have a drivers license or a couple of resent DUI's or they don't speak English.
Then there were about 50. So I did just like other employers do I looked at their Facebook page. How stupid to have photo after photo of yourself, high on pot, or with whiskey or a beer in your hand, I'm not talking one or two but one after the other, after another. Have you ever thought what it looks like to an employer to see your posts of selfies I mean dozens and dozens of pouty lip selfies. Just what employers want self centered / self focused people working for them. Here is the best one a guy doing that gang pose and a whole bunch of photos of hand guns, like lots of them, like anyone in his or her right mind would hire him.
Then there were 5 people I would consider.
Watch what you post, your friends my think they cool but they are not going to pay you, so you can pay your bills.

Manual Typewriters and the repair there of.
That is ink on my hands from the ribbon I installed.
It seems like I only have to install a ribbon on a Manual Typewriter when I am going out dinner that night. One may ask why not where rubber gloves? Because you just can't feel the ribbon with them on.
It's a dirty job, But someone got to do it!

Warning Warning! Do not plug a Space Heater in to a extension cord. Don't plug a Space Heater in to a power strip. And don't don't don't plug a space heater in to a power strip that is plugged in to a extension cord. And Don't x 1,000,000 time PLUG IN A SPACE HEATER AND A COPIER into a power strip that is plugged in to a extension cord. We got a service call on a copier we delivered a week prior, the code was low voltage the tech sent me a photo of what he found when he got there. What you can't see is that the new copier was also plugged in to the power strip that was plugged it to a 100 foot extension cord. A certain amount a voltage is lost over the length of the wire so the longer the wire the greater the loss. I am not sure what the voltage was by the time it got to the copier but it was low enough that the copier could not run. Not only is it bad for the copier, it is a fire hazard.
If you are the customer who did this PLEASE FORGIVE ME for posting this,
It is important that people know this.

Generator + Copier
= Costly Repair!
A customer of ours builds and sells small clusters of homes and moves their office from time to time. Their last move was in to a Office Trailer, Unknown to us they had no electric at first so they were running the office with a generator. We shortly there after had a rash of service calls. When this happens we put a line monitor on the outlet that the copier is plugged in to for seven days. During that time the voltage sagged down to 91v, 88v, 92v, 81v and 31v twice and spiked to 134v and 158v.
Never Run a Office Grade Copier with a Generator!!!

Thank you Blaise Sedney at Har-Co Credit Union in Bel Air Maryland. We delivered a new Kyocera TASKalpha 406ci. They did not need A3 (11 x 17 printing) and because of that we proposed 406ci.

Looking forward to many years of
servicing Har-Co Credit Union.

Hackers can hack any device that has a Hard Drive on your office or home network. They know that most small businesses and home owners don't take cyber security seriously. So they go after the low hanging fruit / the easy ones to get to. Since that innocent copier in your office sees and records every thing that is Printed, Copied, Scanned or Faxed and all that data is stored in it's hard drive.

Internet Scam!
We got a email 20 years ago long before anyone heard of this type of scam. The person wanted to purchase $65,000.00 worth of HP Ink (several pallets) and wanted us to ship to Nigeria. We told them they would need to send us a company check and we would deposit it and we would ship 30 days after the it cleared the bank. We got the check for $65,000 and deposited it, check cleared, thirty days later all was well, we shipped. Day 33 we get a call from the bank, the check was stolen and they want their money back. We called the shipper and the pallets of ink were sitting at the airport waiting to be loaded. They stopped the shipment and returned it to our supplier. There was a 15% restocking fee, thank GOD for insurance, that covers fraud!
Talk about a lesson learned.

Champion of Choices
Last week Business Machines, the Harford County's Office of Drug Control Policy and the Christian Business Men's Connection Funded/Sponsored Marc Mero (Ex-Professional Wrestler) to do his Champion of Choices Assemblies in six of Harford County's Middle Schools. Marc spoke 3 times in Edgewood Middle, 3 times at Magnolia Middle, 3 times in Southampton Middle, 1 time in Patterson Mill Middle and 1 time in Patterson Mill High. We also did 2 followup Champion of Choices Rallies. I went to all the school assemblies and kids and teachers alike were crying as Marc told his life story.
I am praying for the long term effects of these Anti Bullying and Drug talks.

Consumer Grade
Vs Office Grade!
Did you know that 82% of profit for copier and printer companies come after the sale of the copier? Consumer Grade copier/printers like you buy at Staples and Walmart are basically give a ways. They are banking on you purchasing toner over and over again. The average cost per page for a Consumer Grade Copier/Printer is 3 to 5 cents per page Black and 25 to 50 cents per page Color. Office Grade Copier/Printer is between .75 to 1.5 cent per page Black and 6 to 9 cent per page color. If over the life time of a OG copier/printer you ran 100,000 color images you would save about $19,000 using the low end figures.

Thank You Eileen at Cardiovascular Assoc. for you purchase of a Xerox B8055.
We located this current model Xerox B8055 on a off lease website. The machine was repossessed by the bank and only has 9,100 images on it. At Business Machines we are always looking for low meter copiers. In this case we sold to Cardiovascular Assoc. for 50% the cost of new machine. They run over 12,000 per month on there Panasonic copier, so for them it has about 3 weeks worth of images on it. We save our customers thousands of dollars, it is a win win they save and we make money.

Generic Toner Buyers Beware.
I have seen first hand the damage generic toner can cause. Some times you win sometimes you lose. It really is a crap shot. I have seen toner that the melting temperature is not right and the tone will rub off the page. Other time I have seen the toner all over the inside of the copier because the charge properties were in correct and instead of being on the paper it is on everything else. Than there are the toners that have a chip in them that tells the machine how much toner is in the cartridge. If that chip is not designed right the machine can think it is out of toner when it is all but full. But I have also seen where they work just fine.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose!!!

Liars and Thieves, Just get a job!
We use credit cards to purchase things all the time for the office, small parts and small reoccurring monthly bills. This is a system that has worked well for 25 years, until a liar and a thief sitting in his / her basement gets your credit card number.
Now I have to call the vendors that use that card and give them a temporary card until the replacement card comes in, then I get to call the CC company again and change it again.
I think there is a special place in HECK for those who are just to lazy to get a job and cause more work for us that do work for a living.

Never in 37 year!!
We delivered a copier to a long time customer of ours, 20+ years Hilsmeier Modular Homes. His office is in his home in Delta PA. The drive way is rather steep. When I backed out of the driveway, If you notice in the picture the front wheels are off the ground. Which in turn scarred the ba-jeegbers out of me. What do you do the front of the truck was floating about 6 to 12" off the ground. You sit there with your foot on the brake and wait for it to float down and drift back to level ground.

Quickbooks and Microsoft update.
My Bookkeeper and my Accounts Receivable Person both right out of the blue were unable to print, print PDF and email out of Quickbooks. Both of their computers got MS updates the day the QB issues started. Then two days later My QB stopped working. There were posts inon the internet by other people having the same issues with QB and the MS update info stated it was to repair something with Adobe Acrobat. After of two solid days of trying to figure it out on my own, I called my old IT guy because he know QB better than anyone I know. He said we have a similar issue years ago and it was that we (me) imported images into out invoices and the files were to large. So I started checking the size of the files that were on the invoice. Most were 10 to 25k but one was 1237k and when I removed it everything started working. We could print invoices, Print to PDF and email invoices. The funny thing is the image was the smallest one on the page but was the most dense bit wise. So it was a combo deal something to do with file size and MicroSoft update 1909??? Thanks Josh (former IT guy) I wish I had called You two days earlier!

Dancing-man Blues.
I purchased a Flag Dancing Man a couple of weeks ago. I put him on the blower and all was well until I cut the grass. It was like something like out of a movie. He was dancing just fine until I drove by on my Zero Turn Lawn Mower. He dove down and stuck his hand right under my mower deck and the rest is history. I just order another. Lesson learned! Don't dance to close to the mower or your are history.

HP 1055cm & Windows 10 version 2004 update!
I got a call from a customer because their HP 1055cm would not print after the Windows 10 version 2004 update. We did some research and it was all over the internet. We tried all the fixes and nothing worked. Below is a link to the Betanews Website as an example that the problem was not limited to our customer.
https://betanews.com/2020/06/13/windows-10-kb4560960-kb4557957-printer-problems/
A fix/work around (whether a good fix or short lived work around I don't know), Who knows what the next Windows 10 update will do) is down load the HP T790 print driver. There my be issues because the T790 is a 44" wide printer and the 1055cm is 36" and I am not sure if there are other differences. We down loaded the T790 driver and we could print.
Work a rounds, not always a fix,
but it is working for now.

Printing remotely.
The copiers we sell have a feature that can be turned to allows Google Cloud Print, so you can print documents from where ever you are to your office printer/Multi-Function Copier. To do so.
1)Sset up Google Cloud Print on a computer at the Office
2) Then in Google allow Google Cloud Print to print to your printer via your office computer.
3) Any document you want to print they must upload to Google Cloud, unless it is a email in Google.
4) Then print it to your work printer.
5) Your documents will be waiting for you at the office.
Once set up it is easy, you are limited to 15 pages per day. I think you can upgrade that.
Not sure how to set it up,
we can do it for you.

My printer is printing images very small.
I got a call the other day customer said their Okidata Multi-Function Printer was printing images out very small (about the size of a large postage stamp). When I got to their office sure enough I printer out a document and the image was very small, just like she said. See images to the left the one on the right is the before and to the left is the size it should have been. It was a corrupt print driver. I went to the Okidata website and downloaded the newest PCL5 (Printer Command Language 5) print driver, set it as the default, and deleted the old print driver.
Customer thought she needed a new Multi-Function Printer because her IT company could not fix the problem.

Problem: Brown Outs / Low Voltage!
We get service calls where a copier out of nowhere starts acting up. It happens more in the summer when the loads are higher on the power lines causing low voltage, if your lights dim or flicker in your office that could be what is going on. Most people don't know that LOW voltage causes motors and components on logic boards to over heat. Making for big repair bills.
Solution: Business Machines 410-838-1227 - install a UPS or a voltage regulator on the wall outlet, and plug the copier in to it. This will keep the voltage level.

We got two service calls today, both customers had the same problem can not detect toner error and both just installed a new toner cartridge. There are three small wire springs on the side of the frame that make contact with the drum/toner unit. If you clean them your problem should be solved. Please click the printer image to the left, it is a link to a video I found on the internet. The first thing Brother or any manufacture will say is are you using a compatible toner. Clean the contacts, if that does not work call us.

Problem: Curled paper.
Over the years, we have gotten about 1 zillion calls about paper that is curled when it comes out of the copier. This is a sheet of paper that came out of my copier. It had rained for several days prior. The paper will absorb moisture in the air and when it goes though the copier the moisture comes out as it goes though the very hot fuser, causing it to curl.
Solution: Put fresh paper in the copier from an un-opened pack,

Over the years, we have gotten about 1 zillion calls about paper that is curled when it comes out of the copier. This is a sheet of paper that came out of my copier. It had rained for several days prior. The paper will absorb moisture in the air and when it goes though the copier the moisture comes out as it goes though the very hot fuser, causing it to curl.
Solution: Put fresh paper in the copier from an un-opened pack,

Problem: The colors on the page I printed are dull.
Over the years I have had people say this from time to time time. The one thing that I have never had anyone consider
is, that not all white paper is the same. You lay five sheets of white paper from 5 different Manufactures next to each other and you will see 5 shades of white. Some look more gray than white. Some are duller some are much brighter. Some hi quality white paper will even say Bright White. You may ask what difference does it make, A lot. The copier lays the color on the page and you look at it. What you don't realize is light passes though the color image bounces off the white surface.
If you have dull or bright paper the colors will look duller or brighter. If you are looking to impress use Bright White Paper.

Problem: Customer called and wanted a toner for their copier because the images were faint.
We get this call all the time, especially when there has been a lot of rain. The image are light or faint on one side of the page or the entire page. The first thing the average person thinks is I am low on toner. Here is a rule of thumb, if the machine is not calling for toner, most likely that is not the problem. The #1 thing to change first is the paper, from a unopened pack. The paper sitting in the machine or open on the shelf will absorb moisture. The paper manufacture always seals the paper in a wax coated paper or plastic. The machine puts a charge on the paper, the charge is disrupted by the moisture. The image will be light in some place and normal in others or light every ware. If changing the paper does not work.

How to test a Fax line.
Call the fax # from your cell if the fax picks up and you hear a warbling sound, that means it is receiving faxes. Put a piece of paper in the fax and call you cell phone if your phone rings answer it you should get the same warbling sound. That is what is called the hand shake. That means it is sending faxes. If both worked correctly great. If one or the other did not work call your telephone provider and have them check the line. (We had a squirrel eat though the lines on the pole across the street, it was only a problem if it rained). Next question is it a particular Fax that can not send to you or that you can not send to? If yes your machine is not the problem. Call the person and ask them if they are having problems. If you have done all the above...
