Ok I agree with the taking it out to the field and putting it out of its misery. But if you worked for a cheap ass shop like I did, you had to repair the thing. Open up the guts and blow air inside. There will be a tiny piece of paper the size of your pinky fingernail sitting on top of the sensor.
Look up the specs on this thing sometime. It's pathetic. Anything that uses a page-width roll of thermal film should have never seen the light of day.
We, however, don't receive on it. We have a fax to email service for that. It's still a pain in the ass to send with it, because it insists on printing a report about EVERYTHING it does (probably so you buy more film) and you can't turn that misfeature off.
Oh yeah, and when that roll of film jams, it's an ungodly mess, and you waste a lot of the roll.
Our shop has the fax machine from Office Space.
