18．复印与打印

常用应急场景

范例一：A paper jam

Look, the printer isn’t functioning well. I’ve pushed the start button. It is suppose to be working now but it remains¹ like a log. What’s going on?

Let me check. It has a paper jam.

I didn’t pay attention to that. I will try to get the paper out.

Be careful, the cartridge² can be very hot.

范例二：Best inventions

Office software like Windows might be one of the best inventions in this information age. It saves us from so much work and makes the communication even around the world much easier.

Fully³ agree. I do enjoy the convenience though I am still a beginner in using Excel⁴. The latest office equipment is more type-functional. It combines fax machine, copy machine and printer in one. It saves a lot of place one machine instead of three.

Yes, this machine is even smaller than those before.

When will we get one of those?

You know our boss always trying to save the last penny. We have to use up the equipment first.
