    Getting ready for a meeting. Print out a document that is 15 pages long. I need 6 copies, so I print six copies. The printer prints page 1 six times, page 2 six times, page 3 six times, etc.:mad: So I make room on my desk to put the packets together myself (comtemplating how to kill the printer without getting caught). Get them all ordered and put them into a nice pile. I thought, hey why not staple them (again wondering why the printer can't do this for me, I've seen other ones do it). So I grab both sides of the pile, drop them onto my desk to get the edges to all line up... AND MISS MY DESK.:mad::mad: Now, I'm back to picking up my pile and reorganizing it once again.:mad::mad::mad: I'll have to give the printer one credit, it did at least put the papers in somewhat of an order as opposed to this pile I'm dealing with now. But it still has to die!

      Our's in the office even staple them for you (recently did a 40 pages of schematics and it stapled those as well). Even get to tell it how many staples you want and where you want them placed (haven't looked at how off-edge you can place them though... :-\ ).

            I often try to unpick the staple in the centre of the magazine so I can see the girl better.

              So, do you prefer shaven staples?

                        I like calling them selection boxes, because it makes me think of chocolate. Thinking of chocolate is always good.

                          1. when you print the document in a windows environment you can select how you want to print the document, mixing pages or not. 2. if you are in a hurry and don't have time to investigate (or as in my case you never remember which one is the correct way to do it) you can always click print n times in order to get it done. This happens to me when I print the manuals of my machines (usually 80 pages or so). :rose:
