   * It's important to know that even if you fix an error, other errors or issues may remain underneath, and a complete repair may sometimes be less economical than replacement. It might also take more time than the initial error might indicate.
     * For example, in the copier job below, even though the boot disk error was fixed, the formatter board required replacement to get a basic function like printing over the network to work.
