i was poking around at: http://www.patents.ibm.com/  and found nothing about
that patent.  the closest thing i found was
http://www.patents.ibm.com/details?pn=US04884152__ but still that's pretty
damn useless...

i couldn't find the patent we're looking for, so im guessing there is no
patent, considering it's supposed to be a "complete database for patents
between 1971 - present"

ahh, so if there is no patent, then why didn't we get the extra track?
i bought the import because i couldn't wait for the domestic, im just
curious...
and now that greg eden has even said it was due to a patent, now im really
starting to wonder./.,/.,/.,/.,/.,

today's toner fact.  :)
this was on a xerox 9-350 (i hate xerox)  AKA Xerox 5340 family
problem: fault code appears at start up
here's what you do: The sump is full and you can clean it, but make sure the
flag is down.Also after that you need to reset the NVM values in the bias.
Enter bias and go to DC131 and to MC/set and reset page 5 to zero, next go
to DC 120 Fault File and reset pages 6,7,8,9 to zero even if it says zero.
Turn machine on and off.  oh, and don't forget to leave a mint in the
document feeder...
get the new mr. bungle album.  now.

fresh lychees win!!
