another view of da machines


this is an envelope stuffing machine. if you feed the paper and the envelopes, it'll fold the papers, stuff them into the envelope, and seal it for you. it does like 100 in less than 5 minutes


mfw I was 9 years old when this came out. this machine is only used for archiving and backup purposes

[Hauskaz]

I have that same fucking PowerMac G4 lmfao. Still works perfectly fine other than being slow as shit. That envelope machine is also amazing.

[Duvet]

correction, if the envelope stuffing job is specified to only 1 sheet per envelope, it spits them out every 2 seconds. the past couple weeks I've been doing addressed ad-mail for vet clinics all over canada and pretty much each one of them have over 1,000 names/addresses on record.

the daily lettermail jobs I end up doing and they're all invoices for these giant companies. I once did a lettermail stuffing job last month where the invoice was over 100 pages, and billed for figuratively over 9,000 CAD. it was for some conference calling service or some shit.

holy fuck we do a fuckload of print jobs for the city of bramladesh. a lot of the posters you see around the downtown core (main+queen) are all printed at my workplace. I frequently have to make deliveries to city hall and other places within walking distance.

p.s. everyone who works on the upper floors at city hall are all in shared, cramped cubicle spaces. all the executives located near the topmost floors have all the nice offices.

I have to wear dress shirts everyday to work, so my closet wardrobe is nothing but those, lol.

so we had to replace our nuvera 100 (above) because xerox decided to discontinue servicing and technical support for it as of the beginning of this year.

rip, it was a great machine too that did practically everything.

we are now running a xerox 4127:


doesn't do everything the nuvera had to offer, but this machine outputs at a much faster rate. I hated when I had to print a single sheet of paper from the nuvera and it had to warm up for a good minute before outputting. the 4127 does the same process within seconds, which is nice.

[Mr Momentum & the Sidesteppers]

dat spock tho

[Hauskaz]

My wardrobe is at least 50% uniforms. I had a shitload of the old ones that I stole before we changed from blue to black, so now I have to start over again.

What happened to the Nuvera?

[Duvet]

the nuvera was sold off but I actually don't know where it ended up. my guess is that it's probably sitting in one of xerox's warehouses since it's a fairly dated model and I can't imagine anyone wanting to lease or buy it at this day and age. it took 4–5 moving guys to muscle the thing out of our shop even after separating it into the individual units, lol.

right behind our canon imagerunner c9065 is a xerox 490 ST, which was actually fully functional up until about october of last year—we used it only as a backup printer when the main machine was occupied with a print job or experiencing downtime due to maintenance/servicing. it suddenly experienced hard drive failure, so we can no longer boot up the machine as expected. and because it's a fucking dinosaur of a printer, it's impossible to get it serviced. one of our technicians that came in for a service call on the 4127 decided to check it out and it's a glorified paperweight at this point rip

yeah so i very likely got a job installing solar panels on commercial buildings starting the 25th. should be kinda dope, first construction industry job. plus i'll get to be on top of rooftops.

[Hauskaz]

[Mr Momentum & the Sidesteppers]
