[06:13] The Cleverst Little Printer In The World
Date: 8/19/05 at 2:13PM
I've just moved offices (wheee) and I am now situated directly opposite the printer. The printer in question is a venerable HP Laserjet 5 (OK, I just checked and they were only manufactured in 2003). Anyway, The printer has a little problem, every now and then the little grippy wheels that help suck the printed paper out seem to lose their grip and the paper doesn't fully exit the machine. The next piece of paper to be printed then pushes it out.
Whoop-de-doo I hear you say, care factor nil. Haha - think again! There is a slight point of interest or element of cool, as I like to call it, here:
When the first piece of paper is pushed out by the second piece it tumbles off the printer and drops to it's doom....NOT! The printer has been carefully aligned (by the great printer gods I can only assume) so that as the paper falls and flips (due to the curvature imposed upon it on its trip around the drum) the top edge of the paper slips in between the bottom of the printer and the desk upon which it resides and hangs there, as does the next, and the next! It is SO cool!!!! I've been watching it for ages.
Possibly I need to get out more.
I'm going to hunt down a device capable of capturing video so that I can share the full excitement of the moment with you all. Stay tuned....
