The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Just the fax, ma’am.

[RosieCotton]

I’ll send you my fax number in FRMail... any test page will do ;~)

Oh dear...are you sure you should have said *any* test page?

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah - What do you think he’ll send? ;~)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Ringing... ringing... ringing... answering... connected... transmitting... did it work?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Heh, fours.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

It took me a minute to decide what to send.

[RosieCotton]

Yeah - What do you think he’ll send? ;~)

Well...if it was Corin, I'd be more worried. Especially if he has a flatbed scanner...

[HairOfTheDog]

It works! So it receives and prints OK... That’s good!

Thanks a lot! I can’t be without the ability to receive faxes, so that saves us an emergency purchase first thing tomorrow.

[HairOfTheDog]

I tried to send it back to you, but my machine won’t scan it.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Glad it worked! Sorry it wasn't able to send back, although ours isn't really set up to receive anyway.

[RosieCotton]

I forget, does it have an autofeeder in addition to a flatbed? Maybe one works even though the other doesn’t?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Improper use of a scanner.

[HairOfTheDog]

Neither work. There’s a few ideas on some forums about taking it apart and cleaning, but we haven’t tried that yet.

Maybe it’s just coincidental to the power outage and it just decided to fail... I just hadn’t received any faxes at all since, and that was unusual.

The good news is, the all in one printers are about $400 cheaper now than when I bought this one.

[HairOfTheDog]

You know... in the end, that might have been the best outcome for everyone.... ;~)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

FWIW, we bought one of these when our printer died recently... uhmm, but we bought it for about $35 less than the price that it's now showing, go figure. I guess we caught it on sale.

It both printed out and then faxed the page I sent to you. I love technology! :-)

[RosieCotton]

Oh gosh...owowow!

It’s what he deserved, though. ;-) But...ow.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

"in the end..." *gigglesnort*

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

You know, I was actually looking for video of a commercial where that happens, but I found that one first and decided it was just as good. :-)

[HairOfTheDog]

That’s about the price of the one we were just looking at! The one I have now does all the same stuff and it was $500 new. Where’s the paper tray on it? Does it have enough capacity to hold a lot of sheets? I get so many faxes, I need to keep it full, and I can’t use a top loader, and I don’t see the tray on yours.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

It's a top-loader, the input "tray" is on the back (it's not shown in that Buy.com picture). The manual says it holds 100 sheets of plain paper, although the output tray only has room for 50 sheets, it says. We paid $89.99 (shipped) when we bought it, and it wasn't the cheapest one out there even. I was surprised to see the current price on Buy.com, since that's where we bought it from... I guess we got it at just the right time.
