At my workplace we have two printers for use by my small department. I
don't know the specifics or even the brands off the top of my head, but
they're those nice big clunky commercial printers such as "paperless"
offices usually need. One is about a year old, and the other is about five
years old. Clunky, as I said, but they're consistent workhorses with
relatively few problems.
The older model is easily refilled when it runs out of paper--pop the
drawer, open a ream of paper, drop it into place, and close the drawer.
Simple. The newer (and, one might presume, more advanced) printer works in
a similar way, but it only accomodates about 340 sheets. Am I right in
thinking that the standard ream is 500 sheets? Why would an industrial
engineer design a printer not to accept a full ream? What's the benefit of
having 140 loose sheets hanging around after every reload? I demand an answer!
Furious beyond all rational communication,
Dave!
