RE: IBM 5224 Printer Possessed?

5224 Seem to remmeber that one from a long time ago.
I think it had a hex switch on it which may be shorting out
once in a while. If you turn the printer on and off every
day it could be something in the logic board which spirits
away after it warms up. If you have Maintenance have them fix
it. If you don't it will probably be cheaper to upgrade,
But it could give you several more years of service before
the problem get's worse. If I remember correctly the case
is real metal. I really shouldn't admit to remembering this
one

This one is odd.

We have one company who has an IBM 5224 printer.  This company receives POs
from other plants.  When they do, the PO prints out on the printer.

Now, every once in a while, maybe once a month, the printer prints the
report in what looks like a hex dump mode.  Very odd.  The only thing
consistant that we can figure from this is that it happens in the morning,
usually the first thing that prints on the printer for that day.

Once this has been printed, it acts normally.  We can reprint the same PO
and it prints fine.  It seems to also only be with this certain PO
printout,
not anything else.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?
