I just started thinking about it.... (after 2 weeks vacation)
High end Xerox copiers have an incredible array of features... I could send print jobs from my computer straight to the copier to print out 100 copies of 8 pages, double sided, collated, stapled, etc. And, the copiers do that job in just a few short minutes...
Why is it though, that the copiers have so much trouble with paper?! Our copier at school jams constantly... xerox replaced it with all new parts and it still jams constantly. The paper has to be put in right side up, instead of upside down (did you even know that the two sides of paper are different?!) A whole lot of friggin money spent on a machine, and it's still really picky about the paper. You'd think that for 40 grand (or whatever the machine is worth), it'd be able to copy on anything from construction paper to toilet paper without jamming. (it actually does quite well on heavy paper, but when you get to the most common range - 20lb to 24 lb - it gets really picky.
I've got copying to do tomorrow morning, and I can almost guarantee that the thing is going to jam because the 10 ream capacity of the main tray has had the paper in it for 2 weeks with little or any use and it's "absorbed so much moisture from the air" that it's going to jam every other page.
