Re: Delicate adjustment

Oh gods; the ML 320 (and later, the 320 turbo) are bloody tanks. I worked at a financial place that used a huge number of them as receipt printers back in the 90's, and the tellers abused the utter crap out of them- We had some come in that had broken covers and control panels (but still worked, and the tellers were rabid about us not replacing them!), worn gearing, and other bits of damage. I got to the point where I could completely re-build one in under an hour and have it printing as good as new, unless something like the plastic base was broken. (Had one of those come in, it was one of the few that we had to scrap, after gutting it for parts)

It's a good solid printer that you could (in theory) drop on someone's foot and the printer would still keep right on going, even after the owner of the foot it was dropped on threw it back at you...

Beer, because it's almost beer-o'clock on this side of the world.
