Hmmm, it is not well known in this part of the world....
What do they do???
BTW, someone recommended pressing the meter-pattern button
to clear the jam, but I tried it and it didn't work.
Only a complete shutdown followed by dropping the battery
for a few seconds to remove power has worked, and it has
worked consistently on three different 8008's...
(though it would be nice to remove the problem....).
Hope This Helps
