Our office staff use HP LaserJets for various letters and forms.
They have asked me whether it would be possible to get a device
which would beep when the paper tray runs out. The digital display
on the LaserJet flashes ("11") when this happens. Is there any way
to hook up a device which can detect this and beep? What kinds of
horrible things would I have to do to the LaserJet's front panel?

The digital display The paper tray has a little slot in the left hand side that a black plastic "finger" sticks down through when there is no paper in the tray to block the slot. I'm sure it would be easy to just use that black plastic finger rocker-switch to drive a little battery-and-buzzer combination that you could get from Radio Shack....seems like about the easiest way... -- -- Jim Morton, APPLiX Inc., Westboro, MA UUCP: ...seismo!harvard!halleys!applix!jim
