I had a Brother monochrome laser. One day it had a paper jam. I removed the paper but it still showed the same error. I ended up stripping that thing down and couldn't find the problem. I ended up getting a new one. Some time later I ended up taking the toner out of where it fits into the drum and there it was...a bit of paper that must have torn off. These days I have a multi-function fax/copier/scanner which is neat, it can scan to email, network drive, pdf file or jpg, and lots of other stuff. I think I had an Epson between the two and that failed also. I'd never buy another one. -- End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23 --- * Synchronet * End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com .
